Museo Storico Navale

On the East side of Venice, far off the typical tourist path is the Arsenale, which is part of the Italian Navy.  Right outside of this restricted area is the Museo Storico Navale, which allows visitors to get a glimpse into the history of the Italian Navy, both in terms of history and the equipment they have used.

Admission is only 3.10 Euros, which makes it quite affordable.  Being away from the main tourist area also means there are less crowds to wade through.  Another positive of this museum is by walking to it, it allows you to see a part of Venice where real Venetians live, which was a nice highlight of this visit.
