Sensory Map

This map aims to represent a typical sensory experience at the Museum. For further detail and photographs, please see our Museum Visual Story.

We hope this resource will support visitors in mapping out their own visit before they arrive.

Paper copies of the map will also be available at the front desk, which will include up-to-date details of potential triggers in our Main Exhibition space, which changes twice a year.
