    Great museum to visit while in Stanley, Falkland Islands. Awesome little town, luckily we had nice weather with some sun as well so it was perfect for a stroll through Stanley, so glad I had the chance to visit this area, highly recommend.

    Best local museum 🤣🤣. Small and rather haphazardly organized with labels not very useful. Big propaganda for the British side of the Malvinas conflict, that detracts from the educational value.

    Very good museum, very interesting. It's a shame that there are only 3 stars as a result of the friendly Argentine neighbours voting 1 star, even though they've never even been close to visiting...

    Whaling history and Military history artifacts incredible. Ship models from different periods, photographs of historical people, and antiques from early days abound. I could have spent much more time there.

    Small but extraordinarily good museum. Must visit (and after 1 July) you pay the fee in your departure fee (so entry to the Museum is free). Quite a good little museum shop also.

    Entrance to this museum is free and worthwhile to visit. It consists of indoor and outdoor displays. It was very informative. The gift shop has a variety of goods and reasonable prices. I bought several sterling silver necklaces with penguin pendants for gifts.

    Nice quaint little museum. A lot about how the country transitioned over the centuries. Not a lot about the '82 war from soldiers but there is a lot from the perspective of the local people, a lot where children at the time, which was particularly moving. Well worth the fiver from that point of view alone.

    Very nice Museum. I think it’s a must see in Stanley. The distance from the local cruise tender drop off is less than 10 minutes. On the main road. It gives you a great glimpse of historic Maritime objects. You can purchase as you walk in. It’s not expensive at all. No need to waste your money on a pre paid on-shore excursion. Posted pictures of the outside which is free to the public. Walk around and enjoy

    Loved this excellent museum in Port Stanley. Very professional and well laid out history of the Falklands. I especially enjoyed the maritime history presented on the second floor.
