The National Maritime Museum is the largest of its kind in the world, with a huge collection covering artwork, maps, charts, and thousands of other objects. The uniform worn by Admiral Lord Nelson when he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar is one of the most famous items on display at the museum. The art collection includes famous portraits of Sir Francis Drake, Captain Cook, Nelson and JMW. The National Maritime Museum appeals to visitors of all ages with its many exhibits designed for younger visitors, including the interactive grand map experience and ship simulation, and it's worth noting that the National Maritime Museum is free to visit except for special exhibitions and guided tours.
