St Albans on Sea

Despite being nearly 40 miles from our nearest coastline St Albans has always had a wide range of connections to the sea. From the Sea God mosaic in Verulamium to the current HMS St Albans this exhibition will explore those stories and our relationship with our coastline.

This summer come and explore our St Albans on Sea exhibition starting on the beach, with St Albans straw hat making industry, before discovering some natural history in the shallows and braving the deeper waters to discover the many ships named HMS St Albans and HMS Verulam. Along the way we’ll share the stories of St Albans’ residents connections to the sea, local artist’s depictions of the sea and the impact we all have on our changing coastline.

We’re open 11am – 5pm, Monday – Sunday
