The National Maritime Museum: Explore Britain's naval history

Set in the World Heritage Site of Greenwich, the National Maritime Museum occupies some of the area's most iconic and historic buildings, chronicling Britain's naval history. There are three parts to the museum: the Maritime Galleries, the Royal Observatory and the Queen's House, part of the old Tudor Palace of Greenwich. It has some of the most important objects from the maritime history of Britain, from art to maps and navigational equipment. While visitors can learn about naval battles and British sea trade and explorations, the museum also explores astronomy at the Royal Observatory, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian Line. The state-of-the-art London Planetarium is also here, which tells the story of how life on Earth began and shows London's night sky on a huge screen. The museum is located on the expansive Greenwich Park, which is a busy picnic area during the summer months, while Greenwich Market and the Cutty Sark are also within walking distance.
