A current peek into our Wet Lab 👀💦
Did you know that the work happening in our Batten Conservation Complex is truly one-of-a-kind? Caring for USS Monitor’s iconic artifacts is the world’s largest marine metals conservation project. And, we love doing it alongside @MonitorNMS!
SPOTLIGHT ON OUR TEAM 🌟🌟
It's an honor to share that we've been recognized as a Top Workplace from @InsideBusiness three years in a row! The people you see in this photo - and many, many others - get all the credit for making The Mariners' the place it is today.
You really should check this out - an amazing feat to recover the MONITOR turret from 235feet below the ocean's surface, and a remarkable and world-class effort to conserve it now that it's @MarinersMuseum
Say hi to Paul 👋👋
We love hearing from guests on how friendly our Mariners' team is. So much goes on behind the scenes to make our galleries and facilities welcoming and clean. Paul is a part of that magic by bringing the brightest smiles and shiniest glass around. #loveourteam
If you've ever wondered what exactly goes on behind closed doors at a Museum, now is your chance to cure that curiosity! See our Conservation team in real-life action caring for these precious pieces of human history in our Clean Lab Observation Area 👩🔬🔬
Happy 4th of July 🎆🇺🇸🍉
Wishing all Mariners a safe and sweet Independence Day! Thank you to all those who serve and protect our freedoms. This great photo shows a 4th of July Watermelon Party at the Station Complement Service Club on Norfolk Army Base in 1945.
The beauty of @MarinersMuseum $1 admission is that you can enjoy the visit no matter how long you have. Stay for an hour and bounce or stay longer and grab lunch. #iamamariner

There's nothing quite like a beautiful sunset over The Mariners'. We're grateful for this place, our community, and especially our photographer Amanda Shields for capturing this moment.

Constantly something happening in the largest and most advanced conservation lab of any maritime museum in the world. Pretty cool @MarinersMuseum footage from just outside the Batten Conservation Complex!
It's no secret that our Conservation team might have the coolest jobs💦💦
We moved USS Monitor's skeg elements over to our tank farm where they will undergo dry-ice cleaning. These elements are mostly comprised of hull fragments, bulkhead plates, and skeg beam. #iamaMariner
The power of Culture. @ArmyWP_Football - one guy singing, another guy signing, and the entire Team fired up to WORK. TO WORK. They are not getting ready to play - they are getting ready to prepare themselves to play. To battle. Awesome.
