Fodor's Review:
After an intensive and ambitious renovation, France's most important maritime history museum is fully rigged and readied -- a must-see for fans of Patrick O'Brian's nautical Master and Commander books, or anyone who has dreamed of running away to sea. One of the best parts of this little-known collection is the boat models, from 17th-century flagships up through 20th-century naval war machines. Video works by contemporary artists are shown alongside the early navigational equipment and original restored boats that form the bedrock of the collection. There are excellent explanatory panels in English throughout, and a changing roster of special exhibits.
- Cost: EUR 8
- Open: Wed.-Mon. 10-6
