The search is on to find a company to undertake the \u00a312m refurbishment of the Hull Maritime Museum, and the Dock Office Chambers<\/h2>\n

\"hullFollowing the award of UK City of Culture in 2017<\/a>, the \u00a330m Hull: Yorkshire\u2019s Maritime City project is a key cultural regeneration scheme in the heart of Hull\u2019s city centre that will protect and celebrate 800 years of Hull\u2019s maritime heritage.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment, which will be funded by Hull City Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is a key a part of the continued regeneration of Hull city centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The major refurbishment of the\u00a0Grade II listed\u00a0Hull Maritime Museum will reveal more of its original architecture, create new and improved visitor facilities and the open up the second floor to the public as well as access to one of the building\u2019s\u00a0domes.<\/p>\n

Enhancing visitor experience<\/h3>\n

\"hullThe revamp will also create an interactive and engaging museum, improving the visitor experience for everyone.<\/p>\n

Plans also include a new three storey foyer that will draw people into the heart of the building and central core, providing a visually stunning and thematic introduction to the galleries beyond.\u00a0This will be created by reopening up the original light well that helped to illuminate the Victorian dock offices.\u00a0New viewing balconies in this central area will help visitors to orientate themselves within the new galleries and enjoy the original architecture like never before.<\/p>\n

Daren Hale,\u00a0portfolio holder for economic investment, regeneration, planning, land\u00a0and property, said:\u00a0\u201cThis is a key milestone in the project as we move forward with another exciting regeneration project<\/a> in the city. The transformation of key maritime treasures will have a considerable impact on the city centre, its economy as well as attracting additional visitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis significant investment to the much-loved and well-known museum and former dock offices will give the city a world-class museum it deserves, right in the heart of its city centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to works starting on the Hull Maritime Museum refurbishment, 50,000 objects will need to be moved from the museum.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment is expected to\u00a0take 18 months to\u00a0complete, and installing the new displays and exhibitions is expected to take approximately a year.<\/p>\n

The museum is expected to reopen in spring 2024.<\/p>\n
