The SeaCity Museum in Southampton will close early on Wednesday 6 May 2026. The venue is set to shut its doors at 4pm, one hour ahead of its usual 5pm closing time.

While the museum, which is operated by Southampton Cultural Services as part of Southampton City Council, has published the change on its homepage, ticket booking page, and events page, it has not provided a specific reason for the adjustment. Management has issued an apology for any inconvenience this may cause to visitors.

The museum, located at the Civic Centre on Havelock Road, typically operates from 10am to 5pm seven days a week. Those with planned visits are encouraged to check their arrangements in advance. Anyone seeking further information can contact the museum directly by calling 02380 834536 or by emailing [email protected].

The facility noted that separate events scheduled for the same day, such as the Linocut Day workshop, are held at the Southampton City Art Gallery and are unaffected by the change in operating hours at the SeaCity Museum.
