The museum retraces the tumultuous history of Toulon's Arsenal (naval base) and offers a fitting tribute to Mediterranean maritime traditions through an exceptional collection of model vessels and galleys. After a two-month renovation project in 2011, its permanent exhibits now benefit from an attractive new layout. It is one of France's foremost maritime museums.
Listed as a historic French monument on May 4, 1910, the door of the arsenal was moved in 1976. It became the gateway to the Naval Museum inaugurated in 1981.
