Muzeul Marinei Române

The Romanian Naval Museum in Constanța presents the history of navigation and Romania's maritime power, from the old vessels used on the Danube and the Black Sea to the modern military fleet. Housed in a historic building near the port, the museum comprises many rooms with ship models, navigation instruments, weapons, uniforms, flags, and documents that illustrate the development of the military and commercial navy. Important moments are evoked, such as the naval battles on the Danube during the world wars and the role of Romanian ports in international trade. In the museum courtyard are displayed cannons, anchors, torpedoes, and other large pieces.

The collection offers a broad picture of the link between Romania and water, a dimension of national history that is often less known. Visitors keen on military and naval history will find many exhibits here. It is advisable to allow enough time to go through all the rooms.
