Limited access to collections, October 2024 – March 2025
We are in the process of moving objects to the new Centre for Material Culture, improving access to collections in the long term. Moves between sites might limit accessibility to MAA collections between October 2024 and March 2025 inclusive.
We ask all those interested to take account of these dates before planning a visit to the MAA collections. As always, please contact MAA as early as possible, and before making travel arrangements, to ensure we can accommodate your request.
