Location
The
U.S. Naval Academy Museum is located in Preble Hall on the grounds of
the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. It is 35 miles east
of Washington, D.C. via U.S. Route 50 (Exit 24), and 26 miles south of
Baltimore via Maryland Route 2 or Interstate 97. The area is served
by three major airports, several private airfields, AmTrak, buses, and
marinas.
Preble Hall is located just inside the Maryland Avenue gate of the Naval
Academy. Beyond the large wrought iron door, the entrance foyer
is paneled in pink travertine marble. There are four exhibition
galleries totaling 12,000 square feet, storage spaces for the reserve
study collection totaling 3,500 square feet, offices, and a small but
well-equipped exhibit construction shop taking up the remaining 5,000
square feet. In addition to the galleries, museum objects are also
exhibited in the Chapel crypt, Memorial Hall, the Yard, and most of the
academic buildings.
