Please note that all departmental study rooms will be closed from 24 December 2009 to 3 January 2010. Between these dates we are unable to offer an identification or public enquiry service.


The department has three study rooms. The Horological study room and the Neolithic to Modern collection are both located at the main Museum site. An additional facility is available at Franks House, north London, which houses the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic collections.

Please make appointments in writing well in advance, including your contact details, as much detail as possible about the objects required for study, and an indication of how long you will be using the study rooms.
