P is for…. Pirates! @ The National Maritime Museum

Join us at the National Maritime Museum for the Pirates exhibition:

“Explore the myth, discover the truth. Heroic rascals or violent criminals? Discover the truth behind pirate life in this major exhibition.
Pirates traces the changing depictions of pirates through the ages and reveals the brutal reality behind the fiction".

Our visit will explore the perception of piracy in popular culture and examine why the idea of a pirate's life still fascinates us today.

“Pirates follows the global history of piracy from the South China Sea to the coast of North Africa and explores the issues of modern piracy facing seafarers today. The exhibition illuminates real-life figures, and reflects on how perceptions of pirates, both past and present, are shifting.”
