We encourage all visitors to take photos, and share them with us via social media.
However, flash photography is not permitted, as this can be harmful to the artefacts, as well as disturbing other visitors. Most modern cameras have a low light setting, so you won’t need to use flash.
Commercial or professional photography is not permitted without written permission from the Mary Rose Trust.
Light levels are kept low inside the museum to help preserve our collection for the future, as UV and visible light provide energy that can cause materials to alter their chemical state, damaging them forever.
If you have any concerns, please speak to a member of our team upon arrival.

Oh my word! This must be the most difficult review to write. I’ve wanted to see MR for 35 years and I wasn’t disappointed. This trip is beyond any expectation and description, all I can say is just do it, I’m so sure you’ll not regret it. I was on a high for days afterwards.
