Discover the Royal Navy like never before
Create lasting memories and experience the thrills and adventures of the Royal Navy at the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
With six sites across the country, the National Museum of the Royal Navy is more than galleries, displays, and exhibitions. It’s real experiences!
Climb aboard and see the most famous ships, planes, and submarines of the Royal Navy through the eyes of those who served on them. Feel the exhilaration and fear of battle. Be truly captivated by the thousands of unique, emotional, and sometimes quirky stories that have shaped the Royal Navy into what it proudly stands for today.
Honouring our heroes: telling their stories
The Royal Marines Experience will be more than a museum. It will be a living testament. Through the voices of those who served, it will tell the individual stories that bring history to life - stories of gallantry under fire and of endurance against the odds. These stories matter because they carry the values of the Corps: courage, determination, unselfishness and cheerfulness in adversity. They remind us not only of what Royal Marines have done, but of what we, as a nation, ask of them.
This final £2.5 million is not simply a fundraising target. It is a statement of intent.
A statement that we will not allow the service and sacrifice of generations of Royal Marines to fade into obscurity. A statement that we will provide a permanent home for their stories, their achievements, and their memory.
