Exhibition Disruptions:

A new interpretive plan, introduced in May 2019, is guiding the phased redevelopment of the permanent galleries, public spaces, and outdoor interpretive areas over the next few years. Currently in phase three, work continues on our permanent galleries and some disruptions may continue until work is complete. 

To request a digital PDF copy of the interpretive plan, please contact us via email
