Hull Maritime Museum is getting ready for its big reopening this Saturday after six years of being closed to the public.
The museum, which has undergone a £20m renovation programme, tells the story of the city’s maritime heritage as a hub for trade, migration, fishing and whaling across Britain and beyond.
Opening in the restored former Dock Offices in the city centre, revamped features include 50% more objects on display and a hidden treasures gallery.
Nearly 10,000 free tickets to visit the museum have already been snapped up, said Mike Ross, leader of Hull City Council.
