Description

Galleries
There are several permanent exhibitions at the museum, each with different themes:

Shaped by the Sea
Explores maritime deep-time history, and the connections between Indigenous Australians and the sea.  At the centre of the exhibition is Dhaŋaŋ Dhukarr by the Mulka Project, a video art installation reflecting the themes of the gallery.

Passengers
Looks at the journeys made to Australia by various groups, from the original settlers to war brides, refugees, and cruise ship visitors.

Navy
Examines the role of the Royal Australian Navy (and before that, the Royal Navy Australian Squadron and colonial naval forces) in the defence of the nation. Notable exhibits include a working triple-expansion marine steam engine from the RAN anti-submarine net tender HMAS Kara Kara, the figurehead from Victorian colonial naval vessel HMVS Nelson, and a Fleet Air Arm Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopter suspended from the ceiling.

Under Southern Skies
explores efforts to traverse and chart the waters around Australia made by various navigators throughout history, including Aboriginal Australians, Makassan traders, Polynesian seafarers and European explorers. 

The Tasman Light gallery contains the original lenses from the Tasman Island Lighthouse, and is used for temporary photographic exhibitions and as hireable space for functions.

The other 3 galleries (two along the eastern side of the top level, and a third offset from the main body of the museum) are used separately or together to host temporary exhibitions.

3 museum ships
the HM Bark Endeavour Replica,
the destroyer HMAS Vampire,
and the submarine HMAS Onslow -
are open to the public, while smaller historical vessels berthed outside can be viewed but not boarded.
