The maritime fleet museum

The Maritime Fleet Museum is a museum in central Moscow that displays ship models, navigation instruments, and technical equipment documenting the development of Russian maritime transport. The exhibition provides an overview of various aspects of seafaring history through its varied collection.

The museum was founded in 1958 under the Soviet Ministry of Maritime Fleet to showcase Soviet maritime transport achievements. It was later placed under the supervision of the Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport.

The collection displays paintings with maritime themes by Soviet artists that reflect the country's relationship with seafaring. These works allow visitors to experience the artistic perspective on the maritime world.

The museum is located on Bolshaya Ordynka Street and is best reached on foot or by public transportation. Visitors should plan to spend 2 to 3 hours to comfortably view the exhibitions.

The exhibition features models of nuclear-powered icebreakers that demonstrate Russia's technological capabilities in extreme environments. These vessels played an important role in exploring and utilizing Arctic waters.
