Mary Rose Closure

More local news from in and around the South Hampshire from Dibben and Dibben as this weekend see the last chance to visit Henry VIII's warship the Mary Rose, before the exhibition closes while a new museum is built. The ship will away from public view for three years until the new museum, housing the vessel and its artefacts, opens at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded £21m to the Mary Rose Trust, which itself raised nearly £10m towards the project. The new museum is being built alongside Nelson's flagship HMS Victory. It will contain galleries running the length of the vessel to imitate the missing port side.

The trust aims to complete the work by 2012, in time for the Olympics. The ship will continue to be sprayed with preserving polyethylene glycol, a water-based wax solution, before being carefully dried.
