Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

<p>Poster advertising the natural history exhibits from Mr. Seaman's collection (largely from the South Pacific Ocean area) on display at "The Zoological Museum" (unclear as to where it is), backed with a poem: "An address on a visit to The Museum" by the Rev. W. Harrison, to Mr. Seaman, Leverian Museum, Ely and dated 1824. Similar posters exist headed "The Leverian Museum" instead of Zoological Museum,  with the King replaced by 2 dukes.</p>
