Museum Lates

We are excited to welcome you after hours to our Lates events on selected Friday evenings.

These give adults the chance to explore the museum in the evening, enjoy a drink at the bar, take part in fun activities, and learn from expert speakers.

Each event has a different theme linked to our collections or temporary exhibitions, and a packed programme of talks, workshops, and activities.

Check individual event listings for more details.
