If you don’t know a barquentine from a brig, the absorbing nautical collection here will make everything (almost) clear. It’s stuffed full of ships’ models, sea chests and sailors’ souvenirs from around the world, plus tales of life for the families left behind by the seafarers. There's even some climbable rigging in the courtyard. Take a walk to the nearby waterfront to see the newly restored, century-old schooner Bonavista, built in Marstal in 1914.
