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!

The topics of HMc's papers are 'Basic mechanisms in the epilepsies', 'Isolated cerebral tissues as an electrophysiological test system' , and 'Opposing actions and structural features in glutamic acid and tetrodotoxin'
