Museum Etiquette

  • Children must be accompanied by adults at all times.
  • Keeping our voices low will allow everyone to enjoy the galleries.
  • Please refrain from touching any artefacts on open display. Touching artefacts, paintings, or works is prohibited because oil from fingers will contaminate and eventually destroy the objects.
  • Your safety is important to us. Please do not lean on showcases as they can break under pressure. Please do not run in the museum as this may cause our artefacts to be knocked over.
  • Students with prepared worksheets, please ensure that only pencils are used in the galleries. Pen marks on walls or panels are difficult to erase.
  • Please eat or drink outside the museum. Our galleries need to be kept clean from food, spillage, and pests.
  • Please refrain from bringing large backpacks, trolleys, or other bulky items into the galleries.
