Nikolaev Museum of Shipbuilding is the only museum of shipbuilding and fleet in Ukraine, which since 1978 has been located in the Headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet at st. Admiralskaya, 4. The building itself in the style of Russian classicism was erected in 1794 according to the project of the famous architect Neelov and for some time housed the residence of the commander-in-chief of the Black Sea Fleet.

The exposition of the shipbuilding museum at the Fleet Headquarters has about 3000 museum exhibits, which are located in 12 rooms. All the exhibits collected by the museum demonstrate in detail all the processes of the development of shipbuilding in the Northern Black Sea region from the times of Kievan Rus and the Cossacks to the present.

There are about a hundred models of ships of the XVIII - XX centuries in the Nikolaev Museum. Here are the models of the cannon frigate "Saint Nicholas" - the first ship of the Nikolaev shipyard, the revolutionary battleship "Potemkin", the famous cannon brig "Mercury", the new aircraft carrier "Kiev" and others. Also, in several halls of the shipbuilding museum, very rare documents and maps, interesting navigational devices, marine communications devices, items of ship equipment, naval utensils and personal belongings of sailors who participated in dangerous campaigns and hostilities are exhibited. In the hall of the Crimean War (1853 - 1856) unique relics of those times are placed, including ship guns, sailors' awards and the St.Andrew's naval flag.
