Ling Yang
★★★★★a month agoBarcelona Maritime Museum is suitable for all ages. There’s a full-size real ship. I had a wonderful time here. It’s also very pleasant to walk along the waterfront to visit the museum’s real ship at the port.

★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful museum with very well done interactive displays. This museum has some really beautiful models, and the full size replica galley is truly remarkable. I really appreciate the interactive exhibitions, particularly the educational touch screen exhibitions that cover the roles of different seaman, and celestial and solar navigation. The latter is very close to my heart, and they did an excellent job of conveying how time and geometry allow navigators to determine their location on earth. Additionally, the span of maritime history covered by the museum is excellent: you can visit for modern, colonial, and precolonial interests and be met with many relevant exhibitions.
