Nepean Naval Museum

A hidden gem!!! Nepean Naval Museum is one of the most wonderful museums I have ever visited. Small yet full of pieces of history. Free entry with an optional gold coin to assist the operation of the museum. Staff are truly friendly and will accompany visitors through the museum to provide amazing details. It’s currently open to public only on Sundays. Free car park available. Highly recommended!!!

Great museum. Frank the lovely gentleman there was very helpful. He told us a lot about the history of the Australian Navy.

Very interesting place to visit. Gold coin donation only. Gr8 place to.take the kuds for a history lesson.

Great museum with knowledgeable volunteers

Great family experience. Highly reccomend.

Need more money and more support to revitalise this museum

Friendly staff at this neat little museum. It won’t take you long to see all they have, but it’s still very enjoyable to walk around, see what they have, and read the information they have posted. It doesn’t cost anything to visit, but donate a couple dollars if you can. Sadly they’re only open for 4 hours on Sunday currently as they could use more volunteers and funding.

The Museum Picture Gallery Index shows the museum and its grounds, together with images of some of the ceremonial and social events we hold there each year.

The Exercises and Operations page recalls the work our sailors do, both in training and on the front line.

Shore Bases are essential to the navy. Even America's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have to dock sometime.

The Submarine Service is one of the oldest and most important components of our navy.

The Fleet Air Arm officially started in 1947, but our navy was in the air as early as 1918.

The Aircraft Carrier Index lists all of the ships, big and small, that come equipped with an aircraft as part of their kit.

Australia's navy deployed Cruisers before warships were armed with missiles, so this index looks back at some of our original, and most powerful capital ships.

Worth the visit

We showed up on a Sunday (between 11-3) to have a look at this place, only to find it was closed. Tried calling the number on the website. There was no answer so we’re not sure if this place has shut down. Might be worth checking before making a visit.
