After a major overhaul, the Naval Academy Museum reopened its doors to a grateful public; now more than ever, it’s a place where U.S. naval history lives.
If you haven’t recently visited the U.S. Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, Maryland, it’s an acquaintance well worth renewing, now that this naval-history enthusiast’s must-see destination has undergone an extensive, multimillion-dollar renovation. The museum, located on the Academy grounds in Preble Hall, was closed for nearly two years (2007–9) while the staff and contracted design and production firms worked to reorganize and interpret the vast material at their disposal.
