Update on new reading room

Important information for visitors

Until summer 2025, there is a new visitor route at the National Maritime Museum while we carry out essential improvements to the Museum's roof. Most galleries will still be open as normal, and special exhibitions are currently free for all visitors. However, the Great Map and AHOY! will be closed for the duration of the works.

As our regular readers will know from seeing the crates of books in the Caird Library as we undertake several mini-moves before the really big one, we're busy preparing for moving into the Sammy Ofer Wing during April-July 2011. We've updated the information on the website so please take a look - we'll update the information monthly, so please keep continuing to check on our progress and closure dates for the Caird Library.
