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>Photograph of the Portable Den hung on a wall, pinned up like a flag or a piece of camouflage netting.</p>
<p>"The Portable Den is meant to be an operational object, to be displayed, and perhaps even used as an object of physical, 'magical' intentional protection. The group of works made under the title The Den are all expressions of seeking protection, refuge and freedom, and the Portable Den is the only material item located outside of the physical (real life) den born out of materials from the den which can then be transported anywhere as a portable embodiment of the den. Of course, the Portable Den's life wouldn't be to use it as a daily cloak, but it's life and use should ideally be in conditions in which that could happen, albeit in display or in occasional performance."--Provided by artist.</p>
