Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum of Kotor offers a fascinating insight into the history of this beautiful port city. If you’re into ships, sailing and everything related to life at sea, this is definitely worth a visit. The collection is varied, with ship models, old maps, uniforms, and maritime artifacts. There’s an audio guide available, but I only listened to it for the exhibits I found most interesting which worked perfectly. A great way to spend some time in Kotor and learn more about its seafaring past!

We went to this museum on Saturday morning, in summer, not too much people. The ticket costs 6€ with the audio guide in different languages. In the Museum you mainly see the things related to Kotor and Kotor bey during last centuries. Overall nice museum, worthy to go in one time

Great museum for the maritime lovers to understand about the history of Kotor. Lots of artifacts and pictures on display. They provide audio guide as well as English descriptions on most items

This is a nice museum about the Maritime history of Dubrovnik. It takes you through different stages from the peak to the nadir of Dubrovnik’s navy. This museum is included in your city pass, it is quite small so maybe if you would have to pay the normal entrance fee it wouldn’t be worth your while. The whole museum it is only one room. It is also a little bit annoying that for many of the exhibits there is no English translation of their names of descriptions.

Definitely the best museum in Kotor and as I was leaving at midday I was glad to see it had an early opening time of 8.00am. I hadn't realised that Montenegro had such a rich Maritime history; I had previously visited the Maritime museum in Dubrovnik, but this is far better & bigger. There are a large number of exhibits and some great paintings of the old sailing ships. There is a very good "weapons room" showcasing many long barrel rifles dating back to 17th & 18th centuries and I liked the display of navigational aids; Sextants, Octants, Chronometers and Inclinometer (tilt guage).

Very interesting exhibition and description how one of the strongest ship cargo companies - Jugoocean, was destroyed by UN sanctions placed because of the civil war in Jugoslavia. Also recommend visit museum of money in Cetinje to get informations about the inflation from the same period (prices doubled every 16 hours!)

This is a quality museum. We usually visit all Maritime Museums and this is a wonderful museum with a good layout and good exhibits. Kotor and Montenegro has a maritime history to be proud. The museum is going to undergo a renovation apparently so may be different next summer. Be sure to take the audio tour because it makes the experience richer. It took us just over 2 hours with the audio tour. Lots of documentation from the early days to the World Wars. Not to be missed.

Absolutely amazing, I definitely recommend visiting this museum, I had no clue that Montenegro used to be such a big port and have connections with other countries such as China! The boat models are stunning and charming, the weapons are so cool! The paintings are so beautiful! Definitely one of the most interesting places in Kotor!
