The construction was challenging because the museum was built over the ship in the dry dock, which is a listed monument. During construction of the museum, conservation of the hull continued inside a sealed "hotbox". In April 2013, the polyethylene glycol sprays were turned off and the process of controlled air drying began. In 2016 the "hotbox" walls were removed and after reopening the ship was on display behind glass.WEB,weblink The Mary Rose Revealed - Reopening 20th July 2016 - the Mary Rose Museum, 7 January 2017,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20170108190154weblink">weblink 8 January 2017, dead, In 2016, the museum was closed for 9 months whilst a £5.4 million development was undertaken that allows visitors to view the ship without being separated from it by a wall of glass.NEWS, The best view of the Mary Rose for 471 years: £5.4m development of Tudor warship completed,weblink The Telegraph, 3 October 2017, 24 April 2018, Richardson, Nigel,
