This museum is truly fascinating and interactive! The building itself dates back centuries and was once a Royal Shipyard. You can also see a legendary copy of the Spanish Flagship here. It's a must-visit! History enthusiasts can enjoy several hours of engaging experiences, while casual visitors might finish in about an hour, taking in the ship and the well-done exhibitions. It's great for all ages!

This place really surprised me! It might be one of the most impressive historical sites in Barcelona. As an international airline pilot with extensive flying experience, I appreciate the parallel histories that can be drawn here, including the building's past as a shipyard employing a significant portion of Barcelona's population. If you have an appreciation for history, you'll love the nautical displays, model ships, and fascinating stories about maritime battles and the city’s naval importance. Don't miss the gigantic replica galleon, which is awe-inspiring and a centerpiece of your visit. I highly recommend spending a couple of hours here; it’s a destination I will suggest to friends for years to come.

Aesthetically pleasing and cool museum! It's conveniently located near the sea port and Barcelonetta. I highly recommend visiting on Sundays after 3 PM when entry is free; there were few people around despite no admission fee. Plus, there’s a lovely café where you can enjoy a coffee or even a cocktail. :)

Interesting museum with many miniatures and impressive audio/visual displays. However, the route through the exhibits wasn't as clear as expected, and the security staff outside could be rather rude. We encountered issues when leaving just after closing time, mainly due to a lack of clear announcements regarding closing hours.
