A place worth knowing

A museum visit does not have to mean seeing every room. Start with something that catches your eye, then follow the next connection: a colour, a material, a different way of describing a familiar place.

Admission is free; the museum’s voluntary contribution is separate. Regular visiting hours are Tuesday–Friday 11:00–19:30 and Saturday–Sunday 10:00–19:30. Mondays are closed. Check museum notices for holiday changes.

The linked exhibition pages carry their own dates, while the address and access details belong to this shared museum record. The cover is a 2017 photograph of the building, not a view of a current show.
