Temporary Exhibitions
The Museum has a large temporary exhibition gallery which showcases three or four exhibitions a year.
Exhibitions are based upon the themes of the museum and are always accompanied by a special events programme. These include drop-in workshops for families, regular adult talks and events and school holiday activities.
The space offers high-quality displays including high spec audio-visual and computer facilities.
