Visitor information - keeping you safe
As we adjust to the lifting of Covid safety
measures, our staff will continue to give visitors extra space and we encourage
visitors to respect others’ space. Wearing masks for both staff and
visitors is optional.
We will continue to monitor numbers to ensure the museum does not become too crowded and we will maintain increased cleaning.
