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>Postcard showing Violet and Daisy, conjoined twins, linked at the hips and buttocks with shared blood circulation but sharing no major organs. The photograph shows one playing the piano and the other the violin. They look to be about 5 years old here. This postcard would probably have been sold as a souvenir at places where they were exhibited as part of a freak show.</p>
