Delve deeper into our collection of more than 2.5 million objects on our specialist tours and talks series, led by one of our expert curators, researchers or conservators.
The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre is home to Royal Museums Greenwich's stored collections and state-of-the-art conservation studios. Since the development of our new collections centre in 2018, we are able to share our hidden treasures with the public, and showcase the skills and expertise of our conservation and storage teams.
Our specialist tours and talks will be centred around a different theme or topic each time – find out more about the talks on offer below.
Event programme
Ocean Objects: Stories from the Deep
Thursday 7 August 2025, 7pm-8.30pm
Join us at The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre for an evening tour with Aimee Mook, Lloyd's Register Foundation Curator of Contemporary Maritime, to explore some of the collection's most exciting ocean stories.
The ocean is at the heart of our maritime collections, yet often goes unnoticed in favour of human stories - but we wouldn't have human stories without the vast, powerful watery engine underneath. This tour will combine natural history, oceanography, ecology and more to unpack some of our star ocean objects.
