Planning your visit

Entry to the museum is free. We are open Monday - Saturday 13:00–17:00 (including bank holidays).

The museum is closed for Christmas between 22 December 2019 - 1 January 2020. We will also be closed on occasional Saturdays until the end of the year for essential building work.
The next closures will be Saturday 26th October 2019 & Saturday 2nd November 2019. Additional closures will be announced as soon as possible.

We are open for group and research visits on weekday mornings 10am - 1pm, when advanced booking is required. Please contact museums@ucl.ac.uk to arrange this.

The museum welcomes family visitors warmly. Children, however young, as well as adults get a great deal out of their visits but please note that children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult.

Any groups of ten or more must book in advance. This is to avoid clashes - the museum is used for a number of purposes and isn't suited to more than one large group at once.

Access to the museum, and all public areas within it, is step-free. There is a shallow ramp leading up to the main entrance from the street.
