A naval genius, a socialite and a gossip are just some of the ways to describe Samuel Pepys (above), one of the most colourful characters of 17th-century Britain. Samuel Pepys: Plague, Fire, Revolution at the National Maritime Museum (from 20 Nov) is the largest ever exhibition about the diarist, who lived through many of the great events that changed Britain forever. Explore 200 objects that relate to Pepys’ diary, which he began writing in 1660 on board the ship that carried Charles II out of exile, and hear about how he played truant from school to witness the execution of King Charles I in 1649.
