Hull Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum will reopen on Saturday 8 August. Free tickets are available to book below.

Set sail through 800 years of maritime history and discover never-before-told stories of the sea!

Opened in 1871 as Hull’s Dock Offices, this iconic building has seen many ships sail past its windows. We’ve also welcomed many people through the doors since opening as a museum in 1975.

Entry to Hull Maritime Museum is free. We advise booking in advance to avoid queues, especially at busy times. Walk‑up entry is available daily, but visitors without advance tickets may wait longer during peak periods.
