Australian National Maritime Museum
Located along the waterfront in Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour, the Australian National Maritime Museum invites you to dive deep into Australia’s rich relationship with the sea – from ancient Indigenous navigation and migration to naval history, maritime archaeology, and ocean science.
Discover highlights from the museum’s 160,000 collection items, from an impressive fleet of historic vessels, including a replica of Captain Cook’s tall ship HMB Endeavour, the former Navy destroyer HMAS Vampire, and the submarine HMAS Onslow. Inside, the museum’s galleries are filled with fascinating artefacts, exhibitions, and interactive displays that bring to life stories of exploration, immigration, naval service, and Indigenous maritime culture.
For a truly unforgettable experience, set sail aboard the Duyfken – one of the rarest ships in the world – and soak up the sunset as expert crew share stories about its remarkable history and life on the ocean.
Whether you're climbing aboard a warship, taking a private behind-the-scenes VIP tour, diving into Australia’s seafaring past, or simply enjoying the waterfront views, the Australian National Maritime Museum offers a memorable day of discovery in the heart of Sydney Harbour.
