About this title

Synopsis

Treasures of the National Maritime Museum is the first publication of its kind to be produced by the National Maritime Museum (NMM). A museum-wide collaboration, the book documents 300 of the NMM’s most historically significant, rare and beautiful items. It is a stunning showcase of objects dating back to the 16th century and a unique photographic insight into the Museum’s rich and diverse collection.

HRH, The Duke of York, provides a foreword commending Treasures as an important guide to a world-class collection: 'Britain has always been a maritime nation and this remains true in the 21st century. The NMM is thus appropriately celebrating and interpreting for many audiences this country’s engagement with the sea, in the past and present, in peace and in war, in trade and adventure’.

Three years in the making, Treasures is a unique overview of the gems among the NMM’s collection. The items featured were chosen by the Museum’s curators, some for their remarkable story or historical significance, others because they are too delicate to be displayed in a gallery. As a result, some have rarely, if ever, been on display.
