    When you book a ticket, we will need your contact details so that we can let you know if we need to close the Museum at short notice, or if it is otherwise necessary to contact you about your visit for NHS Test and Trace purposes.

    The Museum welcomes family visitors warmly. Children, however young, as well as adults get a great deal out of their visits but please note that children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult.
