Model Ships

In Palacio Salazar, there’s an exhibition of model ships, mostly from the Napoleonic wars. Now model ships aren’t really my thing, but it’s worth a quick visit just because they’re so beautifully detailed. (And if you haven’t seen Palacio Salazar, that’s worth a visit too.) The exhibition fills up the ground and first floor, and contains perhaps thirty models, including the Titanic, HMS Bounty, the Cutty Sark and the US Constellation.

The exhibition will be there until December 14th.
