About your visit

As we are on the site of a working hospital, mask wearing requirements may change at short notice. The Museum maintains a supply of facemasks, but if you have a mask you can bring, just in case, that would be appreciated. Hand sanitiser available throughout the building, and we ask visitors to maintain appropriate social distance from others not in their party.
