A museum celebrating a city’s seafaring history has won an award following a major renovation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

Hull Maritime Museum was named Refurbishment\/Renovation Of The Year at the Insider Yorkshire Property Awards 2026. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The site reopened in August following \u00a320m of work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mike Ross, the leader of Hull City Council, said: “The project has breathed new life into one of Hull’s most important historic buildings, ensuring its future while creating an outstanding visitor experience that celebrates our city’s world-famous maritime heritage.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Grade II* listed landmark was built in 1871 and was the city’s former Dock Offices. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It underwent the renovation as part of the Hull Maritime Project, which was funded by Hull City Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Insider Media said the refurbishment had overcome a number of issues including “deterioration within the roof structure and asbestos, including aerosol contamination within a lift shaft”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The judging panel praised the “attention to detail” in the renovated building as “exceptional”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“The building’s use now has a much wider purpose than it once did and is all part of a wider programme of civic regeneration,” they added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Ross said: “The success of the museum reflects the dedication, skill and passion of everyone involved in the project and demonstrates the value of investing in our heritage assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“We are incredibly proud that Hull Maritime Museum is being recognised as the very best refurbishment and restoration projects in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“The thousands of visitors since it reopened have recognised the quality of the museum, so it is pleasing to see it now get the recognition of this award.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
