Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower

An exciting award-winning visitor experience for all the family, Explosion! tells the story of naval warfare from gunpowder to the Exocet and is housed in historic buildings at Priddy's Hard, the navy's former armaments depot.

Imagine dodging submerged mines as you explore the ocean depths or taking aim on a battleship's heaving gun decks. Discover what it was like to be a female munitions worker during World War II. Enter the dark vaults of a massive gunpowder magazine and uncover the mysteries that made Priddy's Hard a state secret.

Browse round the gift shop and relax in the harbour-side cafe.
