A great place and it has a lot on offer - it takes a while to get around I assure you. A shame that the city's strength is now relegated to a museum, but wow - did they build some fantastic ships there of every conceivable variety. The first room covers the city and shipyards earliest beginnings when Nikolaev was first founded., and as you pass through each room you move forward in time. A truly fascinating place to look around. Of course it is Mykolaiv now, but I mention its original name as that is what it was originally called. The displays are all in Russian, or were when I went there, but as you enter each room there is an A4 sheet taped to most of the entrance doorways giving a synopsis in English - enough to give you a feel for what is going on as you examine the exhibits. I was lucky as my girlfriend worked in the ship yard on the ships and gave me some first hand information and insights into the yard where she worked (there were/are three). Personally speaking it is worth going along just to see the scratch-built ship models - they are simply stunning. I will go again at some point when my Russian is better. Count on it : )
