As part of this year's 2026 Heritage Open Days, our museum will be open once again for free all weekend!
Throughout this weekend, we'll be inviting you to vote on our next Top 10 objects to go into our Visitor Guides, and you'll be able to find out more about treasures from our collection, as well as visit the latest exhibition Timeless Treasures.
