The museum is set up for families in practical ways. There are baby changing tables in the toilets on two levels, and a family and quiet room on the first floor gives children somewhere calm between galleries. A ticket bought for a temporary exhibition or an educational event also covers the permanent galleries, so there is no need to choose between them.
Timing can save money and elbow room. The permanent exhibitions are free on Tuesdays, Friday evenings bring a discount on most ticket types, and the museum says Saturday afternoons are usually quieter. Ticket desks close before the galleries do, so a late arrival needs to buy online or come early enough.
One thing to plan for: wheelchair users enter by a vertical lift or a platform, and the platform can only be used with an assistant’s help. A wheelchair can be borrowed at the cloakroom on request.
