Changes to Regular Opening Hours

10th, 15th, 23rd and 24th June 2021 - School visits on these dates mean the museum will be busier than normal. At certain times on these dates wait times to enter the museum, and/or certain galleries may be extended. This will be to help ensure appropriate social distancing and Covid-19 safety measures are taken.
