Drone footage shows revamped maritime museum

Watch a fly-through of the newly refurbished Maritime Museum in Hull

New drone footage has captured inside the newly refurbished Hull Maritime Museum following a delay in its reopening.

Hull Maritime Museum will welcome visitors back in Spring 2026 following a £27.5m refurbishment, which started in 2021.

The former docks office in Queen Victoria Square will feature projections, films and a planetarium to showcase its thousands of marine-related artefacts, including whale skeletons, artworks and also model ships.

The video has shared a glimpse into how the building will look inside, with freshly painted walls and a spiral staircase that people will be able to walk up.
