Just Okay museum with okay audio guide. But no restroom so we had to rush through. Nice displays with maritime artifacts and some local and sea officer costumes. I would have enjoyed my visit more if there were facilities available. 4 euro entrance fee.
3 Euros to enter, which includes audio in English. Lots of interesting exhibits if this type of thing floats your boat. Ideal for a rainy day.
I think if you are very interested in maritime history this might well be a bit of a gem. For me it was fine but I didn't feel the need to stay very long! The audio guide was useful in parts although very detailed from my perspective. Worth a brief vist.
There is so much to see in this museum. Lots of model ships, paintings, maps, artifacts photographs etc.Do not miss this museum while in Kotor.
Visited a lot of maritime museums in the world it's my favourite after that of Barcelona. 3 floors full of all what you can imagine about the navy.MUST VISIT BEING IN Kotor.
Nice break from the heat and reasonable enough display. Staff didn't really seem to care about the museum though. Was greeted at the reception by a woman on the phone. Had to guess the price from a leaflet nearby and pay without even a word to me or my girlfriend. Also saw on the way out that there were free audio guides on offer which obviously we didn't get told about. There was also a child upstairs INSIDE one of the exhibits playing piano while her parents clapped which again didn't even raise any kind of semblance of interest from the staff who were busy downstairs enjoying a coffee. To sum up. Nice enough exhibit, very poorly run.
There's not tons to do in Kotor, and we found this small, but nice museum enjoyable. I am biased to all things nautical, and given the importance that ships and trade made to the development of Kotor, this is a really good stop on your visit.Not only are there model ships and naval and maritime artifacts (with an English guide), but there is a rotating (changing) modern exhibit, which I liked a lot. Your ticket is a pretty postcard, which makes a nice souvenir.
The museum was interesting. Pretty standard for a maritime museum. Lots of paintings of ships and portraits of captains. All in English, no need for an audio guide.
I just can't agree with a previous comment about the Maritime Museum. It obviously concerns itself with all things connected with the region's close relationship with the sea but if you listen to the audio guide you realise what extraordinarily brave men featured in the local history. The pieces of furniture and costumes were also really interesting. I've seen rooms full of armour all over the place but never seen such decorated swords and weapons used by pirates. Don't go with a guide, take your time and wander around at leisure and breathe in the history. I did see a couple of families with small children, but I can't think that children would be interested enough in the place - not enough bells and whistles for them !
A really pleasant way to spend half an hour with some touching stories of servicemen and women and their exploits during the wars. Quite small and difficult to visit if the cruise ship crowds are in residence best to sit and have a coffee until they are gone and then enjoy it to yourself.
