What's On

A talk by Matthew Bellhouse Moran, Museum Director of HMS Unicorn.

HMS Unicorn is 200 years old in 2024, and is gearing up toward major conservation and redevelopment works of a scale commensurate with the significance of one of the oldest surviving ships in the world. At this talk, Matthew will give a brief outline of Unicorn’s history and significance, followed by where Unicorn is today and the leap forward in progress achieved in recent years, and explore the challenges on the horizon and Unicorn’s future.

Matthew is Museum Director at HMS Unicorn, and has worked in museums across the UK since 2013. Matthew is currently a trustee of Museums Galleries Scotland, fellow of the Society of Antiquaries Scotland, a member of the Royal Academy of Scotland’s Young Academy of Scotland, and a Museums Association Rep. Before joining HMS Unicorn he spent 5 years with the Scottish Maritime Museum as a curator.
