Toilets
Toilets are available on the ground floor next to the gift shop, where there is also an accessible toilet which operates on a radar key. Baby changing facilities are available in all toilets.
For visitors with hearing impairment
A portable hearing loop is available in the gift shop and the Archives & Local Studies Search Room.
We aim to provide subtitles on media screens situated within the galleries.
Staff will check the whole building in the event of a fire alarm activation and direct visitors out.
For visitors with vision impairment
Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the Museum and Park.
All our media screens situated within the galleries have sound.
Noise Levels
The Museum can get busy, particularly on a weekend or during the school holidays. We suggest that if you would prefer to at a quieter time, weekdays when we first open or after 3pm are typically the best time to visit.
