The Museum reopens under Alert Level 2 from Tuesday 19 May.
The Museum team have been working hard to make the Museum visitor-friendly and safe. We're laying out visitor routes to keep people safe, instituting a comprehensive regular cleaning regime, and removing or rearranging some display items while the COVID threat is still present. The Museum will also maintain a contact tracing register as per government requirements.
Our services will see some changes as we follow government guidelines to protect both staff and visitors, in line with government recommendations.
