About

For this year's Heritage Open Days, the Mary Rose Trust is excited to offer behind the scenes tours of the Museum's Reserve Collection.

As part of this tour, you will have the opportunity to get up close to and see some of the incredible artefacts and material not currently on public display. You will be taken on the tour by key members of the Collections and Conservation team and gain insights into what is involved in caring for the unique collection of artefacts.

Each tour will host up to 10 guests and last 45-55 minutes.
