Visitors with learning disabilities should contact our Visitor Services Team if they have specific needs or requirements prior to their visit. Many of our interactives and displays are aural and not solely visual. We are able to arrange an explainer, if we are given two weeks prior notice. For visitors with hearing impairment an induction loop system is fitted, we cannot yet offer BSL tours (but hope to be able to soon).
