🌊 The ocean connects all the National Maritime Museum's galleries, and from 7 June, when we'll be celebrating World Ocean Day, Ocean Court will be the place for you to explore the ocean itself.

🌊For months, Ocean Court, the central area under the glass roof of the National Maritime Museum, has been sealed off because behind the scenes our team has been hard at work, replacing the 25 year old roof and reimagining the spaces beneath it.

To mark #VEDay, @thatSamWright, previous LRF funded PhD scholar, has written about LR and the Second World War, with a particular focus on the Hull staff and their experiences during that conflict, and their VE Day commemorations 🙌🔗 hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/whats-on/stori…
