Treasures beginning to return to the city's Maritime Museum

CITY LANDMARK PREPARES FOR LONG-AWAITED REOPENING AFTER REFURB

- By ANDREW SPENCE

FASCINATING treasures are beginning to return to Hull's Maritime Museum ahead of its long-awaited reopening next year.

The beloved city centre landmark shut its doors to visitors more than five years ago ahead of what was originally planned to be a three-year closure.

The building has since undergone a huge refurbishment which required temporarily removal of the museum's artefacts to a location in the south of England.

In November last year, the museum’s reopening was pushed to Spring 2026, having previously been expected to welcome back visitors by the end of 2025.
