After being closed for almost 18 months we’re proud to announce – we are now open!
During lockdown, the team have been working very hard to build new displays, upgrade facilities and enhance the visitor experience.
The museum has been made Covid safe by the introduction of a one-way route that leads visitors through each of the rooms.
