I'm pleased to say this transformation has been guided by the ideas and feedback of our communities. We have strived to make the museum more inclusive, creating new spaces for creativity, play, learning and coming together, including dedicated areas tailored for young people.

Today we remember Big Lil. 💛 Lillian Bilocca led the Headscarf Revolutionaries to Westminster after Hull's 1968 triple trawler tragedy, forcing changes to maritime safety law. She died on this day in 1988. Her courage saved lives.

Happy #YorkshireDay. Today, after careful restoration, the Time Ball returns to the Guildhall. For decades, the Time Ball gave Hull's ships and citizens an exact time signal at the heart of the city. From today, it's back. 📍 Alfred Gelder Street. Road closures in place.
