PLANNING YOUR VISIT

To ensure the safety of staff and visitors we have introduced revised opening times and pre-booking for all museums.

Please note, the Period House is currently closed because its narrow staircase and small rooms don’t leave a lot of space for social distancing.

We will be open again on Wednesday 2 December
