| How important are our oceans? |
|
Ahead of World Ocean’s Day, this month is a chance to reflect on the importance of our oceans and how they have shaped human identity over the centuries.
Join us at the National Maritime Museum to celebrate our connections to the sea, or visit our free galleries to discover tales of exploration and exploitation from across the globe. |
|
| |
|
|
|
This year our theme is ‘positive activism’, as it’s now more important than ever before to raise awareness and take action to save our oceans. Enjoy workshops, live music, prizes, performance art, canoes on the Museum lawn and much more!
