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 North West Wing buildings originally dated from the late 1820s. In the mid 1880s extensions were made to the Ladies’ accommodation in the North West Wing to make an extra sitting room and recreational and reading room. Part of the North West Wing (the part shown with the large bay window) was demolished c 1896-7 for the construction of the first Nurses’ Home. The photographs all show the exterior of the North West Wing before this demolition.
