A very interesting museum, with a large number of good specimens of ships and navigation devices from different times. Particularly unexpected was the section with old books and maps. They could not be photographed with a flash, as the environment where they are located was controlled, so these photos a little bit darker, because I could make photos without any bright lights and flash. The pirate's area looked old and the mannequins looked bad, like from an old cheep theatre, but the exhibits themselves were interesting and in a good condition. And there was also an interesting corner for relaxation(with children of course), where you could play a "sea battle", or assemble a kind of puzzle from the ship's contours. My wife and I liked this museum. We expected less, to be honest, but we were pleasantly surprised and glad to spend time in this place... And at the same time take a break from the street heat.

Sure is NOT worth the 3hr "Roundtrip" from Airbnb to THIS "So Called...Museum"! As SOON as I walked in the door, I was directed over to a Woman at the "Kids Books Cashier's Desk" by a young man sitting by the door; on his phone. I walked over, proceeded to get her attention, politely. She was holding a phone receiver in her hand. I think she was on hold with someone. After She started Talking in "Hebrew" to me...I spoke to her BACK (IN HEBREW) That: "I speak a little Hebrew; but not Good" and asked if she spoke English. MY GOODNESS, Her Response, was as if I shifted her life! SHE Pointed TO ME; Then, Pointed back OVER to the young man that sent me to HER! Said a bunch of stuff and didn't realize that I could understand "Some" of what she was saying. I picked up the words (American; Does not speak Hebrew; I'm on the phone; Get 35 Shekels from her.... blah blah blah) I walked thru this "Drabby" Windowless, All the same 70's Style Colored Carpet Museum in about 20 minutes! The Lighting is Extremely Poor and You Can Hardly See The Glass Encased Artifacts. There's NOTHING Inviting About this place. Yes, if you like Historical Maritime Archeological Objects; You MIGHT Like it. PS) Bring a Flashlight 🔦

It's a nice museum, there are many things to do for kids, but it is a bit small. You can spend an hour here with kids. If you are without kids and really read everything then maybe more than an hour. It can be sensed they don't have large budgets. The museum is free on saturday, which is nice. So overall it can be one stop of a few stops in the area but I don't think it is can be a single attraction for a half a day. You can also go to the cable car nearby or the Eliyahu cave if you are into religious stuff. The other Navy museum is cooller for kids IMO, but it isn't open at the weekend.

This beautifully curated museum offers a plethora of information in a multitude of languages, accessible for guests of many nationalities. Inside one will find information pertaining to nautical and Maritime archaeology in addition to underwater excavation videos playing for up-to-date education. One of the most accurate and organized museums in Israel, which also includes educational tours and activities for children. I visited for research purposes, but will return as a visitor in the near-future.

This was a lovely museum to visit in Haifa. I went with friends and spent just over an hour here. It's not a huge museum, and the top floor with archaeology was the most interesting, but the exhibit on astrophotography was really incredible. It's free on Shabbat, but the museum was full of small children who were very loud. Definitely kid friendly, and they had lots of activities to dress up in costumes, draw pictures and more.

This museum has permanent exhibitions about shipping history in Mediterranean Sea. There are also exhibited part of famous Lod Mosaic and the biggest sea ram that have been found nowadays. They also have exposition about pirates and sailor's crafts like ships in a bottle and etc. Guided tours usually are held on Saturdays morning (Hebrew, Russian, sometimes in English). They also have children workshops!
