Mary Rose Museum wins double at the 2014 Civic Trust Awards

THE Mary Rose Museum that opened last year at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard has won both the Civic Trust Award and the Michael Middleton Special Award, given for restoration projects or new buildings within conservation areas.

The museum houses the hull of the Mary Rose warship, commissioned by Henry VIII in 1510, as well as many thousands of the artefacts that were retrieved from the Solent’s seabed 437 years after she sank. The new building re-unites the ship with its original contents and crew, creating a building and interior that protects and showcases the Mary Rose.
