We’re keeping visitor numbers low and we’ve set-up one-way routes for you to follow.In return, we expect you to wear a face covering inside our museums and when moving around the UCL campus (unless you are not able to for personal reasons). We expect our visitors to show common courtesy and respect to each other around distancing and if you develop any symptoms of Covid-19 after your visit, please contact NHS Test & Trace. All visitors over the age of 16 are encouraged to provide contact details on arrival, or check-in using the NHS Test & Trace app.Check before you visitBeing able to safely open is reliant on the health of our staff and volunteers. If members of our team become unwell or are asked to self-isolate, we may have to close the museums. If you have prebooked your ticket, we will inform you as soon as we know. We will try and give as much notice as possible, but please check our website and social media in advance of your visit.These measures have been drawn up in accordance with industry best practice and guidance issued by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions.These measures will stay in place until 31 August at the earliest.Keep in touchSign-up to our monthly e-newsletter and follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
