Treasures in Store Tour

Thu, 7 September 2023 11am

Lifting the lid on rarely seen objects from our collection, usually concealed in our special stores.

Book your museum ticket with a special behind the scenes stores tour for a glimpse into the hidden world of our museum. Visit the stores, where objects sit, cocooned out of sight from the visitors’ gaze, waiting for their chance to step out of the shadows.

During the tour, a member of our Collections team will explain why some of our precious objects are kept under wraps, reveals the challenges of storage, conservation and display, and lifts the lid, for your eyes only, on some rarely seen items from our treasured collection. This part of your visit will take about 40 minutes.

Due to the compact nature of the stores, numbers are limited to six people per tour.

Treasures in Store Tour £10 per person.

Selecting this gets you:

  • museum entry (from 10.30am)
  • exclusive access to the museum stores (meet in the Medal Room at 11am)
  • time to enjoy the museum after the stores tour

Pre-booking essential. Call 01748 826561.
