Getting to the CMC
We do not have a car park and there is no off-street parking. We encourage you to reach us on foot or by bike. There are 10 bike racks outside the building shared by staff and visitors.
Preparing for your visit to the CMC
We have locker and coat rack space available in the Entrance Lobby for personal possessions.
We will ask that all visitors leave food, drink, and non-essential items in the Entrance Lobby to ensure the safety of the collections.
As part of our care for the collections, we carefully monitor the environment of the stores. Temperatures can sometimes get a bit chilly so do bring an additional layer!
