The Navy Museum endeavours to present an all-embracing representation of the Navy and its personnel. Consequently it seeks to collect the artistic works of its sailors.
The fine art collection, which includes paintings, prints, and works on paper, focuses on an array of subject matter related to the Navy, its people, ships, and activities.
Our pictorial collection portrays the Navy's past in a primarily visual manner. This fascinating assortment of objects consists of postcards, posters, memorial scrolls, and 'crossing the line' certificates.
The Museum also collects creative and cultural art such as taonga, carvings, craftwork, embroidery, poetry, and sheet music. These expressions of creativity are example of the many talents of our sailors.
