A nice museum about the Canadian Naval during the last centuries. There is also a library inside related to naval history.

The former Maritime Command Museum is now known as the Naval Museum of Halifax. Located within Canadian Forces Base Halifax, in the Admiral's Residence, originally built by the Royal Navy, you have to have photo ID as you entering a military installation My wife and I enquired at the guard station for the location of the museum. We did not have any difficulty in getting in but parking was very limited.

The elegant Admiral's Residence is a working building and a number of meetings that were going on precluded visiting all the rooms with displays. The museum is able to be toured as a self-guided expedition although a docent was available at the front desk to answer questions. A professional curator, as well as several volunteers were always on hand.

The Naval Museum of Halifax is more of a traditional - read ancient, museum with displays in glass cases, rather than being interactive as in more modern facilities. Each room is crammed tightly with uniforms, equipment, ship's name-boards, bells, and naval equipment. A research library is accessible for historians and researchers and seems to be well stocked.

If you want to learn more about Canada's Navy, its warships, and the proud sailors who serve and served in it, this is the place to be. I particularly enjoyed viewing the many scale model ships and the room devoted to relating the stories of the Halifax Explosion of 1917.

There is an extensive collection of everything you could possibly think of that has to do with the Navy and naval life. There is also a significant research library. A professional curator, as well as several volunteers are always on hand to guide you if you wish. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about Canada's Navy, Canada's warships, and the proud sailors who serve and served in it.
