Royal Marines Museum, Military museum in Eastney, England
The Royal Marines Museum contains exhibits chronicling maritime military history through medals, weapons, uniforms, photographs, and personal artifacts from 1664 onwards.
The museum building, constructed in the 1860s, served as the Royal Marine Artillery headquarters before opening as an exhibition space in October 1958.
The exhibitions present the evolution of Royal Marines training methods, operational capabilities, and military traditions through interactive displays and multimedia presentations.
The museum remains closed during renovation work at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, with temporary displays available at the Action Stations area.
The collection includes all ten Victoria Crosses awarded to the Corps and numerous Naval General Service Medals spanning multiple centuries.
