USS Constitution Museum
The USS Constitution Museum preserves, displays, and interprets artifacts and archival material related to the Ship and her crew through interactive exhibitions, compelling programs, and engaging outreach initiatives, seeking to engage all ages in the story of Constitution and spark excitement about maritime culture, naval service, and the American experience.
The USS Constitution Museum was incorporated in 1972 as a private, non-profit interpretive complement to USS Constitution, an active-duty U.S. Navy vessel and the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. It opened to the public on April 8, 1976, in Charlestown Navy Yard's Building 22, located just across the pier from Old Ironsides, and today hundreds of thousands of people visit each year to learn, explore, and research.
