We decided to visit the Maritime Museum when we were down in the district and thought it might be interesting. We didn't want to spend too long inside as it was a warm sunny day but saw there was a Titanic exhibition on which was really very interesting. It was 12 euros each and the staff at the ticket desk... More

This is my favourite musem among the ones we visited in Barcelona. The exhibition tells the story how the ship building developped at the royal docks of Barcelona. Museum also hosts models of old ships and maps describing the seafare at the time. More

We went here to do something inside. Turns out most of the museums exhibits were closed, but lucky for us, they had a really good Titanic exhibit which included audio tour and actual artifacts. Ended up pretty good tour and a good alternative to an outdoor activity. More

too bad, as i am a huge fan of maritime history and this was going to be a plum, but turned out to be a prune. 90% of the museum was closed, all the good stuff, for reconstruction, so beware. while the ticket price was much reduced, it held little for me. sorry. More

I was very sad because greater part of the museum was closed for renovations ... I looked at only 10% of museums, but what I saw was very nice. Go into the gift shop of the Maritime Museum, has very good things to buy. More

sadly most of this unique museum was closed for renovation until mid 2012 however what was open was worth the effort and entrance fee. The exhibition on travel by sea was small but very tastefully done More

We were inside and paid for admission, but there was nothing to see due to renovations. Don't plan on this museum until it reopens in 2013. There is a very small section open now, but it is not what most people plan on seeing. The Main part of the museum is closed for renovations. More
