Following the National Maritime Museums £20 million facelift, the 19th century Neptune courtyard has been covered over by a glass roof. The revamped museum is bright, airy and the whistling wind and fresh air make you feel like youre on deck. The various exhibitions in the galleys/galleries offer an interactive experience with heaving open hatchway doors, turning the ships wheel and using Viking oars. Check out ancient uniforms, follow Admiral Nelsons sea-faring career, watch archive material of passenger ocean travel, discover what life was like in Britains maritime heyday, and get involved in the All Hands exhibition. Wind down in the lush Global Garden – the glorious result of exotic seeds brought back by sailors. Admission is free.
