Very beautiful museum with a broad collection. The visit begins with the explanation of the Discoveries around the 15th century, and continue until nowadays with the marine army. I preferred the first room with plenty of historic explanation, reproduction of old boats and some historical pieces, but the rest of the visit is also worth the time. The last "room" is a warehouse with real size boats and planes. 3.5e for students, it takes 1h30~ to visit.

Perfect complement to the Belem-discoverers experience. If you are interested in history you should go. Also, not very visited by tourists.

It was extremely interesting place for me. Huge number of existing scale models of various ships presented. Few models are as large as human. What is even more impressive it is a hall with full-size boats. Extremely recommended to visit!

Divided into four major sections: ships of the Discoveries Age, warships, commercial ships, and full sized barges. The models are exquisitely detailed and plentiful. Large museum- 1000+ models/boats. I spent most of my time in the Discoveries section, then moved quicker through the other three. What a treasure. My wife waited at the museum cafe (with free wifi), while I spent 80 minutes inside, which worked out well for us both.

It's an impressive museum that documents the history and development of ship construction and naval history - what one would expect from the leader of the age of discovery. This museum is set in a part of an old monastery building, and has an extensive selections of ship models ranging from pre-15 century to modern days. When I was there, they also had a Viking exhibition upstairs which, albeit small in scale, was full of interesting facts and artefacts. And kids (other people's) seem to absolutely love this museum. Highly recommend.
