Exhibition '36 Hours: Jutland 1916, The Battle That Won The War' in National Museum of the Royal Navy at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
A major exhibition from the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) to commemorate the largest naval battle in history, the Battle of Jutland. ‘36 Hours: Jutland 1916, The Battle That Won The War’ will be the most comprehensive exhibition ever staged on the subject, and will highlight the essential role of the Royal Navy in winning the First World War.
Working in partnership with the Imperial War Museum, the exhibition will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to view the NMRN's collection together with objects from 21 private lenders and five public organisations.
The exhibition launch coincides with the NMRN’s other major contribution to the Jutland centenary, the opening of the battle’s only survivor HMS Caroline, in Belfast 2016.
