Make a Splash on the Ocean Map at the National Maritime Museum
Dive into a brand-new way of exploring the ocean at the National Maritime Museum. Step onto the giant Ocean Map and discover the wonders of our watery world.
The Ocean Map turns our view of the world inside out. While most maps focus on countries and land masses, this one is all about water and shows how all the world’s oceans are connected.
Spot some of the most weird and wonderful creatures in the ocean! From the colossal squid to the wandering albatross, the loggerhead turtle to the hammerhead shark, there are 20 hidden creatures dotted around the Ocean Map. Can you find them all?
The map also shows vital maritime links that keep our modern world turning. Plot a route across the seas and see where your journey takes you.
Little adventurers can set sail for the AHOY! Children’s Gallery for under 7s — a perfect place for little explorers with big imaginations. Or head to The Cove Playground to create your own swashbuckling adventure.
