Royal military museum Brussels

The Navy Gallery at the Royal Military Museum displays collection items, documents, pictures, film footage, scale models and uniforms. The visitor can also admire a “PAP”, a “poison auto-propulsé” or “self-propelled fish”, used by Belgian minesweepers.

The objects tell the story and the evolution of the Belgian Navy since its creation in 1831. They illustrate the actions undertaken by the sea-men and draw attention to the important part they played both in Belgium and in Europe.

In March 2016 the Museum inaugurated a new section on military operations in the Antarctic.
