What to Expect

Whilst the topics of our weekly talks vary, you can expect pretty much the same structure for each one. You will arrive at the reception where someone will greet you and let you know where the tour group is meeting (usually by reception). At 2pm the tour guide will come down and take your group to the galleries where the tour will begin. You are welcome to stay after the tour and take a look around the rest of the museum at your own pace until we close at 4.30pm.
