Galleries
To help ensure safe social distancing, there is a new one-way system to follow around the galleries. This will be clearly marked out on the floor.
We will also be opening the Music Room and Billard Room where you can see Eggshibition and our giant rainbow.
During the first phase of re-opening, the Collectors and Collecting gallery and Exhibitions gallery will remain closed as we cannot ensure safe social distancing in these areas. Interactives, toys and colouring stations will also not be in use for your safety.
