Spain’s National Exhibition of Ship Building (Exponav) is an all year round permanent exhibition dedicated to the history of shipbuilding in Spain since it’s most humble and obscure beginnings in the Middle Ages to its present day covering different periods which include amongst others the Spanish Empire, the Discovery of America, Enlightenment and Industrial Age. The Naval station of El Ferrol, in North-western Spain has been chosen as the permanent base to host this exhibition indefinitely.
