The Museum of Naval History is situated near the Venetian Arsenal in the Castello district. It has many maritime artefacts from the time when Venice had an esteemed naval force. Most notable here is the Bucintro, which has a majestic appearance, is covered in gold, and was the Doge's ceremonial vessel.
These include boats, ships, guns and artillery. The museum was founded after the end of World War 1 in 1919. It was established inside an old granary. Many ship models constructed during the French and Austrian occupation of Venice from 1797 to 1866 are housed inside the museum. In the Museum's Ship Pavilion, examples of Venetian boats are displayed, including ceremonial gondolas, working lagoon boats, and military ships.
