Spectacularly located at the waterfront of Darling Harbour and just a short walk from the CBD, the Australian National Maritime Museum is a distinctive indoor/outdoor attraction that’s great entertainment for all ages. The museum has one of the largest and most diverse in-water fleets in the world. Climb aboard the cold war submarine, the naval destroyer, the stunning replica of Captain Cook's tall ship HMB Endeavour, or the beautiful replica of Duyfken, the first European ship to reach Australia. The museum wharves are packed with a stunning fleet of vessels you can't see anywhere else, each with unique and colourful stories to tell of life at sea. Inside the museum, six permanent galleries showcasing the museum's historical artefact collection and an ever-changing program of temporary exhibitions bring alive Australia's deep connection to the sea, past and present. Overlooking Sydney Darling Harbour towards the city, the museum’s café is a perfect waterfront dining location and place to relax during your visit to the museum.
