The Museu Naval de Ferrol is next to the arsenal, near Exponav, and belongs to the Spanish Navy. It tells the story of Ferrol's naval base and of the Navy, since the creation of the royal shipyard in the 18th century.
The rooms gather ship models from various periods, navigation instruments, nautical charts, weapons, uniforms, flags and shipboard objects. There are items linked to naval battles, to expeditions and to ships built in Ferrol, as well as portraits of sailors and engineers connected to the city.
