Behind the Scenes: The Armada Maps

National Museum of the Royal Navy, Stoney Lane, H M Naval Base, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO1 3NH

  • 09 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Join our Collections Team for an extra special chance to see the Armada Maps. The maps are so precious and fragile they can only be on display for short periods of time so these opportunities are extremely limited.

These maps are a contemporary window into some of the most significant events of this ill-fated invasion attempt and give an impressive level of insight into the fleet formations, routes, and battles that took place.

This Heritage Open Days event offers a rare opportunity to see some of them close up, learn more about their historical significance and find out more about the care and conservation of these incredible maps.
