A place worth knowing

Choose one kind of object to follow through the rooms: a painted face, a piece of furniture or the detail of armour. The mix makes a short visit satisfying without needing to see every room. Let the house itself be part of what you notice.

The permanent collection is free; separately ticketed exhibitions and activities may cost extra. The museum lists Arms and Armour IV as closed from 18–23 September 2026, so check notices if that gallery is your reason for visiting. The cover shows the entrance in 2007.
