On Sunday we had a @scouts day with beavers, cubs and scouts from local groups.
After a day of gun drills, real artefact handling and exploring the museum we can't wait to welcome the next groups in October!

Ever keen to learn new ways of talking about the Tudors, our staff and volunteers have been exploring @leedscastleuk and @hevercastle over the last few days!

Looks like they enjoyed themselves!

Thinking about graduation week feels bittersweet. Immense joy and pride, but we are sad the year is over.

Here are some photos of our Portsea Sailors celebrating with the lovely divers of the Mary Rose.

We will miss these happy faces but we will always have the memories.

A special, and very poignant, service took place at Portsmouth Cathedral this morning in remembrance of The Mary Rose, and to commemorate those who sadly lost their lives on the 19th July 1545.

"#MyFavouriteArtefacts at the Mary Rose #Museum are the Linstocks. I think the individual carvings give us an exciting insight into the unique personalities of the #MenOfTheMainDeck"

So lovely to welcome the Portsea Sailors and @theliteracyhubs to @MaryRoseMuseum. We had a welcome from @DominicJonesUK, a premiere of their documentary and @PippaBostock celebrated in their certificate ceremony. Thank you so much for joining us!

[Miltoncross Academy @MiltoncrossAcad]

A group of Y8 students visited the @MaryRoseLearn on a free trip funded by @stemunityuk!
They investigated some properties of water including surface tension, experimented to find why the Mary Rose may have sunk, explored the ship & met one of the divers who helped excavate it!

[Mary Rose Learning @MaryRoseLearn]

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Let the bone scanning commence! 😁

Creating handling objects for @MaryRoseMuseum is underway.

Step 1: create a digital version of a young sailor’s clavicle that actually LOOKS like a clavicle 🙈.

Great to see the #TakeoverDay teams love lots about @MaryRoseMuseum already and were inspired to think of ideas for others, not just their own age group - including toddlers and people with special needs. Well done everyone!

[Kids in Museums @kidsinmuseums]

What a great bunch of creative ideas 👏 Particularly love the chairlift idea - maybe you can get some tips from @JorvikViking!

Make sure you're tuning in on Friday to see what other ideas young people have for #museums! #TakeoverDay

[Kids in Museums @kidsinmuseums]

The Digital #TakeoverDay fun is kicking off early over at @MaryRoseMuseum! Check out young people's posts by following the hashtag.

[Mary Rose Learning @MaryRoseLearn]

We loved all your ideas! Here are a few of them:
#Tudor food 'bushtucker trials'
Hatch the dog sculpture trail around Portsmouth
Subtitles and braille for better accessibility
Pulling the weight of a real anchor
Chairlift ride over the ship
What's your favourite? @kidsinmuseums

[Mary Rose Learning @MaryRoseLearn]

Students pitch their 'low-cost and easy' and 'long-term' event and activity ideas to Jason and Josephine of the Ops team. Great presentation skills everyone! #TakeoverDay @kidsinmuseums
