Discover the human stories of Australia's naval heritage
When entering this exhibition in our spectacular Tall Gallery, you'll be immersed in an atmosphere of naval tradition and service.
A S-70B Seahawk helicopter painted with tiger stripes hangs in 'flight' from the ceiling, a missile tracking radar dish protrudes from a wall, a curved wall evokes a submarine hull.
The Navy exhibition explores how the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) operates on land, in the air and under the sea, during peace and war times. Experience the richness of Australia's naval heritage through human stories of bravery, tragedy and triumph.
Partial closure
A section of our Navy Gallery will be temporarily closed from 2–27 February while we install a new display commemorating 125 years of the Australian Navy.
We look forward to unveiling this refreshed experience when it opens on 28 February.
Become a Submariner
In the submarine section, discover the precarious world of clearance diving and mine warfare. Try the periscope and climb onto the bunks (called racks) to experience sleeping like a submariner. What would you pack for your time on a cramped submarine? It all has to fit into an impossibly small kit bag, so think carefully!
