Access
The museum is housed in an old market building with sloping granite floors and some uneven surfaces. However, we do have a wheelchair friendly entrance to the right of the building and lift access to all floors, we are also happy to answer any accessibility queries you may have. Here is our Easy Read Guide to Visiting and our Sensory Map.If you think visiting our museum may be a little overwhelming then maybe our Sensory Backpack will help.

The second nearest pay and display car park is Tyacke Road, TR13 8RY. Free parking can be found near Coronation Lake at the Fair Car Park, TR13 8SG. This is a 10-15 minute walk uphill to the museum.
