Ipswich Maritime Trust

A window museum on Ipswich's waterfront

Home » Museums » Ipswich Maritime Trust

Ipswich Maritime Trust promotes the maritime history of Ipswich and the River Orwell, through its Window Museum, research, lectures and local partnerships. 

Open 24/7 365 days a year, come rain or shine, this free museum tells the fantastic and extraordinary stories of Ipswich’s rich maritime heritage, stretching right back to the town’s Anglo-Saxon beginnings. So next time you are down on Albion Quay, take a look at their current display. The exhibitions are regularly changed by IMT’s enthusiastic volunteer team.

The Window Museum is easy to find along the Waterfront between Stoke Bridge and the Old Custom House, on Albion Quay.

For additional information about the current exhibition and volunteering opportunities, please visit the museum website.
