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.
Tours are free, but must be booked in advance, and they will be taking place:
Friday 12th September (11:00, 13:00 and 15:00)
Saturday 13th September 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00)
Sunday 14th September (11:00, 13:00 and 15:00)
