Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II – 1926-2022
Please note, as a mark of respect, the museum will be closed on Monday, 19th September for the State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen, to give our staff, volunteers and visitors the opportunity to pay tribute.
We’ve contacted those who booked to visit us that day by email, and the museum will be back open on Tuesday, 20th September.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us in paying tribute to Her Majesty at the museum since the very sad news of her passing.
