If you are a UK taxpayer an additional way to support the museum is by using Gift Aid. It will mean that for every £1 you give on admissions we get an extra 25p back.

The rules governing Gift Aid on admissions to chartable attractions like us changed from 6 April 2006. The Government’s rules state that we are only able to claim Gift aid on daily admission tickets if visitors donate at least 10% more than the standard admission fee. Tickets including donation are available from the reception desk when you come to visit.
