Before you write
Many questions are answered quickly by the information on the visiting pages. Opening days, ticket arrangements and the location of step-free entrances are all kept up to date there.
If your enquiry concerns a specific object, please include its accession number if you have it. This allows the collections team to find the record and reply with accurate detail rather than a general response.

Getting here
The museum sits on the north side of Market Square, a short walk from the bus interchange and the main railway station. The nearest car parks are signed from the ring road, and a drop-off point is available on the square for visitors with mobility needs.
Map data shows the square, the surrounding streets and the public entrance.
Common questions
General admission to the galleries does not need booking. Guided tours and school sessions should be reserved in advance through the events page.
Personal photography is welcome in most galleries. Flash, tripods and the copying of fragile objects are not permitted without written agreement.
Access and support
Step-free entrance, hearing loop, large-print guides and quiet viewing sessions are available. Let us know what would help when you write, and we will arrange it before your visit.

The first question a visitor asks is usually simple. Answering it plainly is the start of a good visit.
