About

Celebrate England's largest festival of history and culture this September at the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre.

Heritage Open Days is England's largest festival of history and culture, bringing together over 2,000 organisations, 5,500 events and 46,000 volunteers. 

Every year in September, places across the country throw open their doors to celebrate their heritage, community and history. 

This year, The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre – home to Royal Museums Greenwich's stored collections and conservation studios – will be running a series of talks based around the architectural connections within its collection.

Through objects ranging from local landmarks and architectural plans to scale models, structures and the personal belongings of architects, this 45 minute tour offers a fresh perspective on how the built environment is imagined, constructed and experienced.
