The Royal Marines Museum will close in April and will reopen at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in 2020: a world-class Royal Marines Museum which appropriately recognises the heroism and sacrifice of this elite service. The closure of the Eastney galleries is one of the necessary steps to achieve that goal. It will be a state of the art museum containing the very latest in technology and hands-on activity.  It will occupy the present Action Stations building, one of the original Victorian Boathouses, close to the Victory Gate visitor entrance.  The main part of the building, including the historic Mast Pond in front, will be completely refurbished to provide a new museum.
