Rainy days don't have to put a dampener on fun - at Royal Museums Greenwich we have lots of fun activities indoors!
Learn about life on board Cutty Sark
Rainy days were definitely difficult for sailors on board Cutty Sark! See where the crew slept, learn about the cargo the ship carried and discover the stories of the fastest tea clipper of its time. You can even touch the hull of the ship, and explore the figurehead collection.
