Season 2026

Exhibitions

Three headline shows across the year, plus the permanent galleries that never sleep. Every exhibition ticket includes the whole museum.

Now on — until 30 April

Heavy Weather

Shipwrecks, sea fights and storm-dark skies — forty paintings of the sea at its least reasonable, from Rembrandt to the present day.

May — September

Dawn anchorages and homecomings: the quieter side of the collection, hung low and lit warm for slow looking.

October — January

Lamps, lenses, logbooks and letters from a century of lighthouse families — with the great Skerry lens lit nightly in the courtyard.

After hours

First Fridays run until 21:00 with music in the courtyard. Members preview every show a week early — join the Quartermaster's Circle in the shop.
