Keeping you safe
As we adjust to the lifting of Covid safety measures, our staff will continue to give visitors extra space and we encourage visitors to respect others’ space. Wearing masks for both staff and visitors is optional. We will continue to monitor numbers to ensure the museum does not become too crowded and we will maintain increased cleaning. Click here for more information about planning a visit.
This remains a very difficult time for us. Help us ensure art, culture and heritage continue to make a positive impact in our region. Donate today. Thank you for your continuted support.
