Situated in the former Royal Naval armaments depot in Priddy’s Hard, Gosport, Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower is an award-winning museum. The armaments depot buildings date from the 18th century, and located inside these original structures are historic displays that describe the lives of those who worked in Priddy’s Hard and the weapons they created. Alongside developments in munition technology, the museum tells a human story of the designers, makers and seamen who worked on armaments over the centuries.
