2021 UPDATE...

We will be reopening the museum on Wednesday 19 May 2021.

Sadly, as we will still be operating under Covid guidelines regarding visitor numbers and restricted activities until further notice, it is not yet feasible for us to host any of our usual events or confirm when we may be able to reinstate our events programme.

We will update this page with more information when we can, and you can also keep up to date via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
