Naval warfare often involves lengthy battles with accumulated deposits of bellybutton fluff. Gaze at more memorable sights with today's Groupon: £8 for a family ticket to Explosion! "Museum of Naval Firepower" at Explosion! Museum of Naval Firepower.
Housed in an 18th century listed building in the Royal Navy’s former armaments depot, Explosion! is an award-winning museum of naval warfare. Cannons, shells, mines, and torpedoes make up an extensive collection of weaponry history teamed with human stories and interactive elements. Available to hire for seafaring ceremonies, the museum can cater for weddings, corporate events and parties that are looking to go off with a bang. The gift shop and coffee shop overlook scenic views of Portsmouth harbour, and maritime explorers can opt to arrive by waterbus service.
Entering under the hulk of an atom bomb, families of two adults and up to three children can trace the development of naval armaments from gunpowder to the Exocet missile. Audio-visual effects and hands-on displays bring to life the human stories of engineers, seamen, and female munitions workers in interactive exhibitions, and extra children’s activities include giant board games and the ‘hunt the mice’ challenge. Encompassing the human, social and moral consequences of warfare, visitors will be provoked as well as explosively entertained.
