Royal Marines Museum is a museum in Portsmouth, England, dedicated to the history of the Royal Marines from their beginnings in 1664 to the present day. A registered charity, it is also a designated service museum under the terms of the National Heritage Act 1983 and receives Grant-in-Aid from the Ministry of Defence. In 2011 it formally became part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, an executive non-departmental public body of the Ministry of Defence. The museum's galleries, formerly housed at Eastney Barracks, have been closed since 2017 pending relocation to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
