Delve deeper into Royal Museums Greenwich's collection on our bespoke British Sign Language (BSL) tour of The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre (PPMCC).

This state-of-the-art facility is home to the Royal Museums Greenwich stored collections and conservation studios.

The centre is full of inspiring objects which normally would be away from public view. Come behind the scenes on this tour with historian and guide John Wilson, to explore these hidden treasures for yourself. Highlights include a whistle from the Titanic and Queen Victoria's fireplace from the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert.

You'll also learn about the conservation and storage teams who care for the collections.
