The ss Great Britain Trust’s curator looks after around 50,000 separate objects and archives, including, of course, the ss Great Britain, one of the world’s most important historic ships, and one of the biggest museum objects in the UK!
Find out from the Trust’s curatorial team what it takes to look after the giant ship or ask the curator your burning questions about the ss Great Britain’s history and collections.
For the younger reader, why not transport yourself back in time and ask Brunel a question!
In the History & Collections section, you can find:
• A brief history of Brunel’s revolutionary ship.
• How you can access and use the collections.
• How the ship is conserved in air as dry as the Arizona desert.
• What we collect and how we collect it.
• What is the Curator's Choice.
• The curator’s frequently asked questions.
