The Mary Rose Museum has been nationally recognised as a ‘Family Friendly Museum’, which acknowledges those museums offering a combination of culture, education and something for the children.
 
The museum, which attracts thousands of families each year, was commended by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, South East for its warm welcome and safe environment as well as activities, events and customer service with family groups in mind. These include their range of hands-on activities such as dressing up and artefact handling, their contribution to national initiatives, such as Family Learning Week and for the staff and volunteers, who are on hand to answer any questions.
 
The Mary Rose Shop was also recognised for a having a good range of items including ‘pocket money’ items relevant to the museum and the Tudor period.
