What naval museum would you create with a budget of £100 million?
Short answerBuild an accessible indoor museum of reconstructed ship interiors, machinery spaces, and opened-up weapons instead of one complete replica ship.
NotesA £100 million budget could fund a warehouse containing reconstructed interiors from many ship types instead of one replica warship. Visitors could pass through boiler rooms, engine rooms, and expanded turret mechanisms, while companion exhibits show the complete structure from outside. Purpose-built circulation would also let wheelchair users and groups explore spaces that surviving ships often cannot make accessible.
