If you don't speak languages well, it's enough to stroll through the open part of the exhibition on the embankment. Small boats and technical vessels, a couple of port cranes - everything is very attractive. If you do not enter the building, you can get to the embankment for free from the other side of the building, through the workshops.
An excellent and informative museum for those who are in love with the sea and navigation! 👍 There are thematic expositions from time to time: I really liked the exposition dedicated to the history of maritime navigation. Among the additional advantages: there is an interactive guide in Russian. It will be very interesting for children to visit a medieval ship moored near the museum and visit a VR show there (all this is included in the ticket price).
