This museum is about 6 miles from the old town quarter of Montevideo or about 3 miles from the tourist hotel section. About a 10 minute cab ride or a 30 minute walk along the coast. The museum has a nice park outside and is right on the coast. It is completely self-guided. Entry requires a 40 Uruguayan Peso "donation"- about US $1. Well worth it, to preserve this gem. Inside, there are artifacts related to general Spanish / Columbian maritime history, Uruguayan naval history and Antarctica, but the star attractions undoubtedly have to do with the Battle of the River Plate, 1939, when the German pocket battleship, the Graf Spee, faced off against the British South Atlantic squadron (HMS Exeter, Ajax and Achilles) and came off second-best, resulting in the first major British naval victory of WWII. They have a 45 minute movie about the battle at the museum. It's in Spanish and on a loop, although there's an English version if you ask. Well worth a 45 minute to 1.5 hour ramble through.
