The changing Museum (Room 2)

Room 2 features a changing selection of objects from the Museum collection. These objects have been displayed here temporarily while we make improvements to our permanent galleries.

Currently, the gallery includes objects from Medieval Europe, the Museum’s collection of clocks and watches, material from the Pacific and Andes and material from the Palaeolithic collections.
