The Maritime Museum has doubled its gallery space and made entry free.
The Port Aurel Maritime Museum reopened on Saturday after a two-year renovation that doubled its gallery space.
The highlight is a 19th-century pilot boat, restored by volunteers and hung from the roof of the new main hall. A new gallery tells the stories of the families who worked on the docks.
Entry is now free. The museum hopes to welcome 150,000 visitors in its first year.
Screenings will take place in five cinemas and, for the first time, on the harbour wall.
The judges called the book “funny, sad and full of the smell of the sea”.
Residents chose the themes, from the tram that once ran here to the birds of the estuary.
The concert marks the start of work on the new harbour.
