Maritime Museum of Barcelona

Museu Marítim

Museu Marítim

Opposite the statue Christopher Columbus, in the bottom of Ramblas, the maritime museum is one of the most imaginative museum of the city and one of the most visited too. Installed in the royal arsenals- date from 1378 and are the biggest and most complete Medieval dockyards in the world- it exposes animated presentations and houses a big exhibition including model ships, drawings, replicas, paintings, figureheads and an interactive exhibition, "The Great Adventure of the Sea".

We are planning a trip to Barcelona in October and after reading the posts on the Maritme Museum I called to find out if they now had English Guides or audio cassettes (Thank goodness for Skype).

The person who answered the phone spoke English well enough to explain to me that the museum is undergoing major renovations and at the present time (probably for the next 2 years) there are only a few exhibits, i.e. models and paintings that can be seen. None of the old Spanish Galleons etc. and therefore there are no audio cassettes or English guides available. They reduced the admission to 2,5 Euros.

We are still going to Barcelona but will not visit the museum--a real disappointment.

Well I'm sorry Alexander Agnew ( March 19th ) had such a bad experience here. We LOVED it. The buildings alone were worth the price of entry. - Very reasonable at about 5 euros - The staff were very courteous and helful and the exhibits were well presented and interesting.

The Royal Galley was SENSATIONAL !!

And both our audio systems worked well.

Go see it, if yo're there !

For the first time in Barcelona I was made to feel unwelcome. It was my first visit to this beautiful city. I had felt enraptured by every aspect of the city and it's culture. As an ex sailor in the Royal Navy (H.M. Submarines), I was so looking forward to exploring the museum and all it's exhibits. The staff were so unco-operative and rude that they spoiled the whole trip. Being deprived of any audio guide we had to rely on our ability to interpret Spanish as there were so few texts in English. My comment 'Shame on you'.

A noter entre-autres merveilles(et a admirer bien entendu) la magnifique barque catalane (sardinal) le Jean et Marie construite dans le chantier naval Bonafos à Banyuls sur mer début 20ième siècle.
