Museum Mikhailovskaya battery, Maritime fortress museum in Sevastopol, Crimean Peninsula.

The two-story fortification extends over 200 meters along Sevastopol Bay, featuring 58 casemates and walls measuring two meters in thickness.

Completed in 1846 under orders from Nicholas I, the battery was named after Grand Prince Mikhail Nikolayevich and served as a hospital during the Crimean War.

The museum exhibits military artifacts, including original uniforms, rare books, and photographic documentation from the 19th century naval operations.

Regular boat services depart from downtown Sevastopol every two hours, with both large vessels for 250 passengers and small boats for 11 people.

The restoration in 2010 incorporated 18 reconstructed Dutch ovens while preserving World War II damage marks to maintain historical authenticity.
