The museum has shared a first look at its renovated interior space before fit-out begins

Hull Maritime Museum has shared a first look inside its renovated building in a video tour by drone.

The newly published footage shows the building’s many rooms and corridors, all empty ahead of the museum’s fit out.

Over the past three years, Simpsons of York have been working with Hull City Council and architects, Purcell, to restore the architectural features inside and outside of the building, in a project funded by Hull City Council and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The project was last set to open in late 2025, however Hull City Council now says the project will complete months later in early 2026.

Delays have included the growing task of replacing the building’s entire roof, which was first thought to need restoration only in some areas.

The building is ready for the fit out and installation of new displays by Marcon.
