Arriving at the Museum

The Museum's main entrance is located on Priestgate street. The main entrance has two sets of steps, the first consists of three steps with a rail and a second step by the entrance without rail support. Step free access to the Museum is available to the right of the entrance and through the sign posted staff car park. For more information please see our Visual Story.

Arriving by train

Visitors arriving by train may follow a step free route, from the Stations main exit, to the Museum. Please follow the brown tourist information “Museum” and black City Centre signs from the station. This route is approximately 550m and includes three road crossings with dropped curbs, two of which are Zebra crossings and one unmarked. For more information please see our Visual Story.
