Musée national de la Marine

Located in the heart of Paris, in the monumental setting of the Palais de Chaillot on the Place du Trocadéro, the Musée National de la Marine reopens its doors after a six-year closure and a complete architectural and museographical transformation. Some 900 restored objects and works of art are presented in an immersive, multi-faceted tour, so that everyone can find their place.
A maritime Mecca for the 21st century, it aims to convey a taste for the sea and an awareness of its challenges to as many people as possible, especially the younger generations. A museum of history, arts, science and technology, its collections retrace more than 250 years of French maritime and naval adventures.
Embark on a voyage of three major "crossings", on the major maritime themes of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and four "ports of call", on the treasures of the collection!
