The Gallerion, after Vienna, is the second collection in the world of the Austro-Hungarian and other navies. With its exhibits, tells a story about the time when nations gathered under the crown of the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, the world's superpower in shipbuilding, navigation and battles on the sea. In 2007 the collection was personally visited by the heir of the Habsburg’s Dynasty, Otto von Habsburg. The permanent exhibition 'Our Austro-Hungarian navy' represents the nucleus of the future museum dedicated to the study of national and international maritime history and tradition.
