Hull Maritime Museum

A museum located in the centre of Hull and dedicated to the city’s association with the sea. The building used to be the headquarters of the Hull Dock Company and the Victorian architecture and design is stunning both inside and out. The building is crammed full of interesting artefacts and these are presented in interesting and thoughtful ways. Some of the main categories covered include the natural world, engineering, art, politics and history. It is well worth taking the spiral staircase to the top of one of the towers to get an excellent high-level 360 degree view of the city. The museum does get busy and so it is probably best visited during quiet periods. The museum has a good café.
