We believe that our maritime heritage should be available to everyone. To ensure our galleries are as inclusive as possible, we have introduced Pay-What-You-Can Fridays.

Every Friday, we invite you to visit the museum and choose an admission price that works for you. This initiative is designed to ensure that everyone in our community can engage with our nautical stories, regardless of financial barriers.

“Sea” you soon!
