More Information
Jersey’s landscape and history have been shaped by the sea and this museum tells the story of the island’s unique maritime environment and rich seafaring past. Learn about the tides or how to design and float a ship, immerse yourself in songs and stories of the sea, and investigate the island's myths and legends. Take a closer look at Jersey's link to seafaring and shipbuilding and the privateers and pirates who shaped the island's maritime past and learn about navigation and the elements.

Skipton Big Ideas: Human Connections Exhibition
This year's Skipton Big Ideas explores the subject of human connection. Employing a wide range of different media, this fascinating, and at times emotional, multi-venue exhibition examines how we maintain these connections, occupy spaces together, convey emotion and rely upon each other to document, safeguard and enrich each other's experiences.
