National Maritime Museum Highlights
The National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum houses over two million objects related to seafaring; this Greenwich museum has both permanent and changing exhibitions over three floors and possesses the most important holdings in the world on the history of Britain at sea including both British and Dutch maritime art, cartography, manuscripts, and ship models. The museum is also home to the world’s largest maritime library and archive collection.
Queen’s House
This stunning 17th-century villa designed by Inigo Jones has a beautifully maintained black and white geometric marble floor dating from 1635. Today the villa plays host to renowned artworks by British and European masters including Turner, Gainsborough, Hogarth, and Stubbs, as well as works by leading contemporary artists. Make sure to snap a pic by the beautiful Tulip Stairs, the first geometric self-supporting spiral stairs in Britain.

Insightful and entertaining
MotherOfABrickFan ·We could have easily spent a whole day in the Museum. Especially enjoyed the Pacific Encounters and Polar Exhibitions. Another hightlight: The Ship Simulator
Good Free Guide
The guide is good and was easy to get at thef front desk - the staff were very helpful. Note: pass does not include the Observatory (£18 extra) but the walk is worth it for the views alone. At time of review the observatory is completely covered in scaffolding so is not worth going to see.
Good
