Australian National Maritime Museum

This museum showcases the close connection Sydney has with the sea and maritime life. Located along the Tasman Sea, in a country that was once only accessible by sea, and blessed with a harbor now considered one of the most beautiful in the world, Sydney possesses a rich and fascinating maritime history.

The museum highlights exhibitions dedicated to the Eora people, who inhabited these lands for thousands of years until the arrival of European settlers in the 18th century. You’ll also see the replica of James Cook’s ship, the first European colonist to set foot in Sydney.

An Australian submarine is also open for visitors to explore.

This is one of the city’s most interesting and symbolic museums. It invites you to discover the story of the Aboriginal people and understand how Sydney’s harbour developed into one of the world’s most famous and breathtaking bays.
