Naval Museum of Montevideo, Naval museum in Pocitos, Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Naval Museum of Montevideo is a museum run by Uruguay's National Navy on the Rambla de Gaulle in the Pocitos neighbourhood, between Playa de los Pocitos and Puerto del Buceo. Its collection is arranged in four main rooms covering exploration routes and the colonial, Artiguista, independence and militarist periods, with torpedoes, anchors, historic cannons and ship models such as the gunboat General Suárez.

The museum was established in 1981 and documents the evolution of Uruguayan seafaring from early indigenous boats to modern naval vessels. The collections show how maritime activities influenced the country's economic and political development.

The museum shows how the sea shaped Uruguay's identity and how ships and ports connected the city to Europe and the world. The displayed objects tell stories of people who went to sea and how these traditions helped shape the nation's history.

The museum is situated along the Rambla and is easily reached on foot, with good paths and building access. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore, as the collections offer much detail and context to discover.

Since 2011, the museum has provided braille signage and accessible routes that allow blind visitors to explore the collections independently. This commitment to inclusion is rare for maritime museums and shows how the venue opens history to everyone.
