About Hull Maritime Museum

Originally Hull’s Dock Offices, the Hull Maritime Museum has been at the heart of the city’s maritime identity since 1975. With core funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Hull City Council, the museum is undergoing an ambitious transformation to restore its architectural grandeur, improve public access and create a modern, world class cultural attraction.

The redevelopment will introduce new exhibitions, interactive galleries and never before seen artefacts, alongside improved visitor facilities including a café, lifts and even access to one of the domes for panoramic city views.

This event offers an exclusive gateway into the museum’s future, giving you a first look at how Hull’s maritime story will be told for generations to come.
