We are a ‘one world’ museum showing collections of musical instruments, anthropology and natural history; we have a butterfly house, an aquarium and a popular programme of family-friendly exhibitions.

Upcoming projects in our department include tours of the World Gallery (ideally including personal stories), active engagement with our visitors on the topic of climate change and support for events such as _Bright and Early, _a relaxed early opening with neurodivergent families in mind.
