🌡️We’re closing on Thursday.🥵

Due to frankly unreasonably high temperatures on Thursday we'll be closing the museum for the day. Sadly, this also means that Thursday's event, "Meet the Greeks" will also be cancelled.

We apologise for any inconvenience this causes. We should be back open as usual on Friday 14 August at 10am, so you won't be bereft of your favourite ancient masterpieces for too long...

In a tragic twist of fate, supply line issues have delayed our Roman soldier today - he'll be at the Museum at 2:30 pm. In the meantime, there's still plenty to do, from trails to fun family activities, all running from 1pm.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
