When you come to Çanakkale Center and decide to go to the beach, let this be your first destination. Since I was a student, the entrance fee was cheap, but I wish my Museum Card was valid…

There are historical artifacts inside that you must see; mostly military vehicles and ammunition. After seeing many bombs and trains in the garden, a large castle welcomes you. There are many historical artifacts to see inside the castle. You can visit the entire museum in about 1 hour. I would like to point out that the museum also has its own cafe and toilet.

I wish you a good trip…

Really impressed with this museum. It is great to see Turkey investing in its heritage. The museum is beautifully presented, the castle is stunningly restored. Turkish and English texts so I could understand fully what was being taught.
The display of bullets that collided with enemy bullets is quite astounding. You get to visit the mine laying ship, and see the wreck of a submarine.

There is a but, the castle is beautifully restored but the steps into and inside are very high, each step is like 2 normal steps, I think if you are elderly you need to take it very carefully.
But the steps are original and it would be wrong to put in a modern stair case.

Overall a great way to spend 4hrs.

This museum houses a large collection of naval and land artillery from the 20 th century, mostly from WW1. It shows the battle for the Dardanelles and Gallipoli from the Turkish side and is exceptionally good.

The best surprise was the submarine.... No spoilers though!

very good indeed, lots of artillery pieces from ww1. Great exhibits. Take your time to wander around and dont miss anything. Go into all the buildings and do see Ataturks yatch. Good value for money. Also and unrelated but there is a carpark by the side which is both weird and surreal. We used it and go a refund as we didnt stay for the whole 3 hours we had paid for. KALE OTOPARK

It was a delight to tour the submarine right now. It was a good experience to take in the mines of the balls in the garden and take a close look at the passenger sign from the periscope. It can also transition from inside to a grassy castle. We couldn’t see how 1.5 hours had passed. When in Çanakkale, I think there’s a must-see museum

Naval history is of course a big part of Çanakkale’s history. Everything from half a allied submarine destroyed during WW1 to numerous sea mines and Krupp artillery invested in defending the Dardanelles from invasion to one of Kamel Atatürk’s small motor yachts to a working replica moored for museum visitors of the minelayer which successfully mined the Dardanelles just before the arrival of the allied fleet in 1915. A real treat for navy and history buffs.

The minelayer Nusrat moored here is a reconstruction. It is however brilliantly done and one would think it was the real ship, beautifully conserved. The woodwork in the wardroom and captain's quarters looks authentic. After having to force my money for a ticket; the Turkish Armed Forces (who run the museum) are very non-commercial types, our tour-guide, a national serviceman was 100% in description, assistance, attitude and pretty damn good in English too. The ship was a living museum in that not only were there objects, well laid out and labelled (English/Turkish); only one label was guilty of pretty strange English. Most every other display was quite comprehensive. Also there was an A/V presentation on the (from the Allied point of view) disastrous attack on the Dardanelles, 1915. There was an English language podcast to explain the Video. The painting gallery was/is under renovation but the park was full of serious naval hardware, not all WWI, though the concentration is on 1915. The Gift Shop had some decent product as well. I am glad e have progressed and are NATO allies with Turkey now. While the museum did not set out the political atmosphere in 1915, it was objective in the events. There is also a library and for museum professionals and other bodies including schools free trips and other facilities outside the scope of this review, but worth mentioning. Considering we are in the centenary year of WWI it is poignant and opportune to know what happened then - also why of course. Despite its small size (in relative terms) there is much valuable material for serious study of the period. Full marks!

Told to come back tomorrow
Went back next day to be told the museum is closed for a year(as of March 2014)
This applies to the inside museum.You can still walk around the small park looking at old cannons.

Great museum, mostly outdoor, very good naval presentation of the Gallipoli naval battle. In the castle there is a very good presentation of the land battle. Well worth a visit.

Visited as part of a private tour. Interesting to learn more of the importance the Dardanelles played in WW1. Only requires a 30 min visit but gives a good outlook of the narrows. Close to fort constructed by the Ottomans in 90 odd days, amazing feat.
