Please note that only bookings made directly by schools will be accepted. We don't accept bookings from third parties.

If you're not able to attend a session you must inform the Ticket Desk at least 14 days before the session date.

Please see the full terms and conditions for further information.

Please book at least one term in advance and wait for confirmation before making travel plans. Greek and Egyptian galleries book up quickly. Opening times of some galleries may be limited at short notice – you'll be contacted if necessary.

Most of the galleries and all special exhibitions are fully accessible. There's a range of facilities for visual, hearing and mobility impaired students.
