What children can see and do

Families follow the museum route and can join dated educational or guided activities when advertised. Expect the family experience to use the same visitor route as the general visit unless the current programme advertises a separate workshop or guided session.

Age guidance

National museum concession rules apply; individual activities publish separate ages.

Practical information

Bring proof of age where required and check the current national-museum events page for family dates. No additional family facility should be assumed from the family programme alone; check toilets, step-free access and pushchair storage directly if they affect the visit. Check the official admission channel for family prices, dated capacity and whether children still need a zero-price ticket.
