Looking over the Historic Port of Charlestown, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the award-winning Shipwreck Treasure Museum is home to the largest private collection of shipwreck artefacts in Europe with nearly 8,000 artefacts from over 150 shipwrecks. These rare artefacts bring stories of the sea to life with rich tales of triumph, treasure and tragedy alike.

Our new Shackleton immersive experience takes you on a journey into what life was like for the legendary explorer and his crew. The tunnels beneath the museum have been turned into a polar world. Then marvel at the amazing images taken during the 1914 antarctic expedition from the infamous Endurance expedition.

Children under 5 are FREE.

The Shipwreck Treasure Museum is also proud to be dog friendly! Your four-legged family members are most welcome provided they are on a lead.

Parking is available in the pay and display car park conveniently located across the road from the attraction.
