Fundado pelo rei D. Luís em 1863 e instalado no complexo do Mosteiro dos Jerónimos desde 1962, o Museu de Marinha conta a história da relação entre Portugal e o mar através da navegação militar, mercante, piscatória e de recreio. Cerca de 2 500 das mais de 18 000 peças da coleção estão em exposição, desde modelos de navios da época dos Descobrimentos e instrumentos de navegação até às cabines reais do iate Amélia. O vasto Pavilhão das Galeotas alberga galeotas reais do século XVIII, embarcações tradicionais e o hidroavião Santa Cruz, que realizou a primeira travessia aérea do Atlântico Sul, em 1922.
