Museo Marítimo de Asturias

The Museo Marítimo de Asturias in Luanco displays marine life specimens, fishing tools, navigation instruments, and wooden ship construction pieces from the region. The collections show how people worked with the sea and built boats using traditional methods.

This museum was founded in 1948 and traces how maritime work developed along the Asturian coast. It displays over fifty boat models from different periods to show how ships and fishing vessels changed over time.

The museum contains four main sections focusing on marine biology, ship carpentry, traditional fishing methods, and navigation history of the Cantabrian coast.

The museum sits in the coastal town of Luanco and opens on weekday afternoons and some evenings. Walking from the town center takes just a few minutes, and signs help you find the entrance.

The facility maintains specialized documentary archives and a maritime library, supporting research about northern Spanish coastal traditions and naval engineering.
