Royal Museums Greenwich

Royal Museums Greenwich is a world-leading cultural institution dedicated to preserving and interpreting maritime history, astronomy, and art. Our four key sitesCutty Sark, National Maritime Museum, Queen's House, and Royal Observatoryoffer unparalleled insights into humanity's relationship with the sea, space, and time. With over 2.5 million artefacts, we combine cutting-edge conservation with public engagement through exhibitions, educational programmes, and research initiatives. Our expert teams work across disciplines to maintain collections in optimal conditions while making them accessible globally through loans and digital platforms. We foster collaboration with academic institutions and conservation bodies to advance heritage preservation techniques.

From Tudor paintings to working scientific instruments, our holdings tell diverse stories that connect past achievements with contemporary challenges. Through housekeeping, environmental management, and preventive conservation, we ensure these treasures remain available for future generations. Our outreach extends to community projects, volunteer schemes, and student placements that democratise access to specialist knowledge. By bridging historical scholarship with modern technology, we create immersive experiences that inspire visitors of all ages. Whether through astronomical observations at the Prime Meridian or exploring pirate legends in major exhibitions, we make complex subjects accessible and engaging.
