There are family activities, including a sensory room and a wombat trail for younger children, and a programme of talks, workshops and events.
It opens from 10am to 4.30pm, Monday to Saturday, with last entry at 4pm, and is closed on Sundays. Adults pay £10, and under-16s, Art Fund members and the museum's own members go free. On Locals Friday, visitors with a WR12 7 postcode get in free.
