You can now come into the museum from the coastal path, giving visitors more reason to spend more time exploring the area.  The new gateway to the path will be opened and closed daily in line with museum opening hours.

While exploring the outdoor grounds of the museum, which includes the 'Our Place in Space' trail, is free, if you want to access the gallery buildings, there is a new admission point in our B Galleries which is the first building you'll come to when you come onto the site from the coastal path.
