The Virtual Tour
You can explore the Museum through our virtual tour. The tour has text, spoken and British Sign Language information. Click on this image to find your way in. Look round the riverside garden if you wish, then open the gates to enter the courtyard.
When the tour opens, you can move quickly between rooms by clicking on the selection arrow at the bottom of the screen.
Past Exhibitions
There may be a short delay before the first page appears. We regret that versions of Safari running on some older iPads will not display the online exhibitions. After visiting an exhibition, click on the “X” in the top right corner to return.
