Monday 19 July 2021 update: following the government lift on restrictions it is no longer a requirement to wear a face covering indoors, however we strongly encourage visitors to do so for the comfort of all those on site.
The safety of our visitors and staff is of paramount importance to us. We promise to continue to offer you:
We’re thrilled to have up to date content available on our brand new multimedia guides- these and their ‘boxfresh’ headphones are cleaned twice, including immediately before being given to visitors. Sanitising wipes are also available if you wish to undertake further cleaning. You are also welcome to bring your own headphones if you prefer; the multimedia guide fits a standard audio jack (only).
Please continue to make the most of our Virtual Visit page, our new podcast and new video series on our new YouTube channel as well as our popular social media streams (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We’re updating these as frequently as we can so you can enjoy our collection and stories from the comfort of your own home.
