Hull
Home > Hull | Hull and East Riding Museum has a collection of stunning Roman Mosaics, you can immerse yourself in a world far removed from that of today. This is one of the best collections in the country and an archaeologist’s heaven. The Maritime Museum is situated in what were formerly the Town Docks offices. This impressive building houses a fine collection of paintings, artifacts and models. Maritime history unfolds in the enchanting displays; you can't miss the huge whale skeleton on show, as well as displays depicting the once thriving and savage whaling industry. To stray away from the museums but still keeping on a maritime theme, the Princes Quay Shopping Centre - built on stilts above former docks - looks like a cruise liner and provides a popular shopping facility.(www.princes-quay.co.uk) |  |
 | For a more hands on feel of the sea and the harsh reality of the trawlerman's world, climb on board the 'Arctic Corsair', Hulls last sidewinder trawler. Moored in the River Hull, this fascinating floating museum will certainly give you an insight into life on a deep sea fishing vessel. If the sea is in your soul you will enjoy boarding the 'Spurn Lightship' now moored in the Marina, let the crew show you around and demonstrate how they would have lived and worked years ago. |
| If you prefer dry land visit 'Streetlife', Hull's Museum of Transport, you will not be surprised to find that it was listed as one of the top ten museums in the country. You can take a ride on the mail coach and see the old town of Hull dramatically brought to life. Wilberforce House Museum was the family home of William Wilberforce, known worldwide for his fight against slavery. The museum also houses collections of dolls, costumes, clocks and rare Hull silver. New to Hull, ‘The Deep' is a combination of visitor centre, business accommodation, bar and restaurant complex and research centre set to pull in large crowds all year round.(www.thedeep.co.uk) |
