A new museum has been inaugurated in Venice: the Munav, the Naval History Museum. It includes additional areas, an interactive audio guide, and the Pavilion of the Ancient Ships. Visitors can explore maritime history and technology across the museum’s 6,000 square meters, spread over five floors and 42 rooms, guided by historical figures connected to the sea and the lagoon. The audio guide, available in five languages, includes the "voices" of 58 historical figures. In the majestic Pavilion of the Ships, which resurrects the sixteenth-century oarsmen's workshops, you can walk among gondolas, fishing hulls, work boats, and real symbols of Italian naval power. These include the engine of the Elettra (Guglielmo Marconi’s laboratory ship), the royal hull of the Serenissima, and the Enrico Dandolo submarine—Cold War submarine hunter from the 1960s—now open to visitors for the first time.
