Houston Maritime Center and Museum

Discover Houston’s maritime story at the Houston Maritime Center & Museum, a vibrant cultural destination on Buffalo Bayou. Our newly redesigned space in the historic East End features sweeping views of Downtown and brings to life the people, history, and innovations that shaped our city. Explore curated exhibits with hundreds of artifacts and model ships, step into the Texas Navy Theater, or enjoy hands-on fun in the Children’s Zone. The museum also offers flexible event spaces for private rentals & networking receptions, and a tailored gift shop for all ages. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, industry professional, or family looking for a fun day out, the museum connects Houston’s past, present, and future through the power of the sea.
