COVID-19 safety Measures:
For the safety of our staff and volunteers, we prefer that masks are worn when inside the museum buildings. However all visitors will be admitted whether wearing a mask or not.
Hand sanitising stations are at each entrance and exit and at specific points throughout the buildings.
A one-way system is in operation in the main museum. Our Tea Shop is fully re-open, with indoor seating available.
We are assisting with the NHS Contact and Trace system via the official NHS COVID-19 app, which can be downloaded onto a smartphone on Android or IOS. If you plan to check in via the app, please make sure you have installed it before you arrive. For more information, please visit the NHS site here: www.nhs.uk/apps-library/nhs-covid-19/
