Join us for a very special online tour at Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre, exclusively for our Members.

We'll be joined by Nicky Yates, Senior Textile Conservator and Maria Bastidas-Spence, Preventive Conservator, as we take a look inside the Museum's textile stores.

This is your opportunity to see some hidden gems, that aren't currently on display in the Museum as well as putting your questions to members of our conservation team.

This live tour will not only show you how we care for the collection but also present ways of looking after your own special textiles.
