About

The Mary Rose continues its celebration of pioneers with the inspiring Alexander McKee, who had the curiosity and drive to spend his free time researching and diving - and convincing others to join him - in the search for the Mary Rose. If he hadn't asked "What if the Mary Rose is waiting for us to find her, down on the seabed?" we wouldn't have discovered the ship and over 19,000 Tudor objects!

Head to the museum's Learning Centre and explore the past by digging up mystery objects, examining the evidence, and discovering who the crew of the Mary Rose really were!

Activities take place in the Learning Centre between 11am and 3pm and are included with a valid admission ticket.
