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 Kids in Museums

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? Kids in Museums

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

What a great bunch of creative ideas 👏 Particularly love the chairlift idea - maybe you can get some tips from JORVIK Viking Centre! Make sure you're tuning in on Friday to see what other ideas young people have for #museums! #TakeoverDay

Great to see the #TakeoverDay teams love lots about The Mary Rose 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!

Looking forward to seeing the results!

A group of Y8 students visited the Mary Rose Learning 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!

So lovely to welcome the Portsea Sailors and The Literacy Hubs to The Mary Rose. We had a welcome from Dominic Jones, a premiere of their documentary and Pippa Bostock celebrated in their certificate ceremony. Thank you so much for joining us!

Great to see the The Literacy Hubs latest film created by students #StGeorgesBeneficial who interviewed #MaryRose divers as part of their project.

"#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" - From Pearl, who was doing their work experience with us this week (she has a few favourites!)

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. Portsmouth Cathedral ☩

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.

Ever keen to learn new ways of talking about the Tudors, our staff and volunteers have been exploring Leeds Castle, Kent and Hever Castle over the last few days! Looks like they enjoyed themselves!

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!
