We’ve implemented a number of changes to the museum and gallery experience:
- We continue to follow the latest government guidelines in relation to coronavirus. As part of this, we encourage our visitors to wear a face covering in indoor public places (unless exempt). Our staff continue to wear face coverings (unless exempt).
- We are maintaining a two-metre social distance throughout the site.
- We’re providing hand sanitising facilities around the museum.
- Our shop and café are open. We will accept cashless payments only.
- Our café is serving a reduced menu with socially distanced tables indoors and outdoor picnic tables available.
- Our interactive exhibits will remain closed to visitors to safely uphold social distancing measures and limit visitors’ contact with hard or shared surfaces. We have also removed our indoor seating.
- We’ll be managing toilet facilities to control the number of people in and out and ensuring regular enhanced cleaning takes place.
- We will be offering suggested routes to keep areas flowing and prevent overcrowding in popular spaces.
- We’ve installed lots of guidance on hygiene, social distancing, and safety measures as friendly reminders to everyone on how to enjoy their day – these include floor stickers to emphasise two-metre distancing and supporting signage.
- Enhanced cleaning arrangements may mean a wait for some things, such as toilets, lifts or access to certain areas. Please be patient and be respectful to our staff.
