Musée Mer Marine

Small exhibition with lots of ship models and interesting displays and information However the problem here is the way they are displayed, the exhibit information cards are printed in a very small font and are low down and I literally had to squat on the floor to read them - okay for one or two but tiring for the whole exhibition Secondly on level two there is a whole section where the information was only in French and I speak English so I had to bypass All all of the information which would’ve been interesting to me. Yes we are in France but when in Bordeaux which is such an international city, the exhibition should also be in English as well to cater for all of the visitors. Consider considering the small size of the museum I thought the entrance Price was a little high particularly bearing in mind my comments above Also buying a ticket was extremely slow, the lady on the desk kept taking phone calls rather than selling tickets to the long line of people that we’re waiting

Great experience, huge number of scale model boats and a quick naval history. Kids love it. They also have some temporary expos.

I came to this museum only to see the exhibition "Art of the brick" and I wasn't disappointed. It was a great exhibition - equally fabulous for art fans as well as lego fans.

Nice place than we were expecting)) Especially as I am not a big fan of Marine history, but this museum has many very interesting things and great ambiance. Very calm , or we were lucky not to fall into rush hour. We have spent 1,5 hours there, yet I thought that it would take like 30 minutes. The rest of my photos might tell...

Never bypass Musee Mer Marine, after your visit to La Cite du Vin. It is a 10 MN walk from it. İt is full of ship exhibits of all kinds: old wooden warships, contemporary french navy battle ships, transatlantics, a small gallery of paintings about sea and ships. The Titanic and ocean liner France replicas are exceptionally good.

This is a very good museum on the history of sailing and ships. The 3 floors are laid out in chronological order from early prehistoric time, to Phoenicians to modern aircraft carriers. The pieces also are explained in English, which is very helpful to tourists. The history of the Bordeaux port is well done and the very many model ships was amazing. Particularly interesting we’re the ships from 1600s and 1700s. Also interesting was Napoleon’s funeral ship. The history is rich and well displayed. The staff are very helpful and we thought it made for an educational afternoon. We recommend you take the time to see this museum.

Great re-purposing of old WW2 submarine pen into immersive art, amazing image projected on the interior walls soundtrack to match

Musée mer marine is a must visit in Bordeaux if you are a sea lover. It contains the history of sea and ships. There was also the temporary exhibition of art of the singer turned artist Obispo which was also interesting.
