Hampshire sails into new Mary Rose partnership
Hampshire County Council is contributing £800,000 towards a brand new Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as it invests in the cultural legacy of the County and its future economic prosperity.
The Mary Rose collection is historically unique achieving worldwide recognition from experts and academic institutions. This latest contribution will be matched by fundraising from the Mary Rose Trust towards the £35 million needed to build what is already being named as a ‘centre of excellence' for Tudor History.
The new museum will be a major international cultural tourist attraction increasing visitor numbers and adding to the county's £2.3 billion tourism economy. The Museum will help Portsmouth Harbour develop its importance as a cultural destination that will in turn improve the wellbeing and quality of life of Hampshire residents. The museum will also contribute to the regeneration of Gosport and its proud seafaring heritage as it is predicted that visitors to Portsmouth will cross the harbour to visit other naval museums in Gosport and in turn boost local trade.
The new Mary Rose Museum will open in 2012 and provide Hampshire with a world-class exhibition space able to preserve this extraordinary ship and all her treasures, for future generations to enjoy. The museum will contain over 14,000 artefacts compared to the 1000 currently on display. It will also house a new learning centre which will quadruple the existing learning space and a new and improved laboratory and workshop facilities.

The whole of Hampshire will benefit from this new partnership as plans for an enhanced learning and community outreach programme will include taking rare artefacts such as seamen's footwear, nit combs and beautiful pewter dishes to Council run schools, libraries and museums. The council museum service will also be working with the Trust on preserving and displaying their unique collections.
Deputy Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Roy Perry, said:
"This wonderful new museum for the Mary Rose has the potential to play a fantastic role in attracting increased visitor numbers to Portsmouth and Hampshire. Visitors will learn about the history of Hampshire and at the same time contribute to its modern economy. Even in the short term this project will give another boost to the construction industry. We are a naval county and very proud of that part of our heritage. Hampshire is right behind the Mary Rose."
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, President of the Mary Rose Trust, has recently commented on the project:
"May I congratulate all those who have been engaged in these activities and who have helped bring the Mary Rose to this stage. There is no doubt, against all odds, success will be achieved and the Nation will gain a sensational and sustainable museum, which will no doubt attract huge admiration worldwide".
