The museum’s new design takes a fresh approach to displaying objects from our designated collection, allowing you to enjoy the fabric of the warehouse itself.

The new galleries have some very hands-on displays (and a few traditional exhibits too). But they all tell the stories of people living and working on the docks – some of them in person on our digital display screens.
