Australians are closely linked to the sea through commerce, defence, exploration, adventure, sport and play. Our oceans and waterways have influenced our development...and who we are.

The museum captures these themes with fascinating artefacts, lively exhibitions, fun activities and even the chance to board ships and experience life on the water. Explore today!

The Australian National Maritime Museum, close to the centre of Sydney on Darling Harbour, is easily accessible on foot, by public transport and by car.
