The Mary Rose Trust is the body responsible for conserving and preserving the Mary Rose for this and future generations and as a charity we rely on your help and donations.
From 1982 until the present day, the Mary Rose has been under continuous conservation and care. We set up a ‘temporary’ exhibition in 1983 to display a fraction of the 19,000 artefacts found within her. So far over 8 million visitors have come to see her.
We also provide support to schools and students, with an innovative education outreach programme that stretches across the nation.
Our President is HRH The Prince of Wales, who has been involved with the Mary Rose ever since his first dive on the wreck back in 1974. Prince Charles has followed the excavation, conservation and exhibition of artefacts with a very close interest, and has played an active role in our objective of reuniting the Mary Rose with her incredible collection of artefacts.
Now we are focused on building and maintaining an exhibition that will be truly world class, enabling us to show off the Mary Rose and her artefacts in all her glory, while also continuing to preserve this fascinating and unique part of maritime history. Together, the collection provides the world with its finest insight into life 500 years ago.
