Things to do and see

She is in the process of plugging the headphones into the socket of an audio exhibit. To the right of her is another woman also wearing a face covering who is looking up at a transparent model of human being. In the far distance is a man, also wearing a face covering who is exploring the exhibiton.

Exhibitions and events

Come to events and exhibitions, online and in our building. All our permanent and temporary exhibitions are free. We hold a wide variety of events throughout the year, from tours to multi-part festivals. Most of our events are also free. Take a look at the What's On programme of current exhibitions and events.
