Museu Maritim de Barcelona

About

The Maritime Museum of Barcelona is an institution dedicated to maritime culture with more than 80 years of history whose mission is to preserve, study and disseminate one of the most important collections of maritime heritage in the Mediterranean. It is located in the building of the Royal Shipyards, on the seafront of the city and at the foot of the mountain of Montjuïc. The original use of the historic building was the construction of warships for the Crown of Aragon fleet. The Shipyards were listed, in 1976, as a Historic-Artistic Monument. In 2006, the Maritime Museum of Barcelona was declared a Museum of National Interest.
