17, place du Trocadéro The Musée national de la Marine (French pronunciation: [myze nɑsjɔnal də la maʁin]; "National Navy Museum") is a maritime museum located in the Palais de Chaillot, Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

In 1748, Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau offered a collection of models of ships and naval installations to Louis XV of France, with the request that the items be displayed at the Louvre and made available to students of the Naval engineers school, which Duhamel headed.

A short-lived museum was opened between 1801, and 1803, at the Ministry of Navy, then located at Place de la Concorde.

In 1871, Admiral François-Edmond Pâris became curator, and had over 400 models of small crafts indigenous to different locations of the French Empire constructed.

In 1992, it purchased Éric Tabarly's Pen Duick V, now serving in the French Navy as a sailing school ship.
