Visiting as a Member

Second entrance:
Montague Place
London WC1E 7JW.

We recommend that you use the TFL Journey Planner to plan your trip to the Museum.

• Once inside the Museum gates, use the easy-access lane for Members, visitors with accessibility needs, those with young children and ticket holders. 
• Please remember to have your Membership card, or proof of Membership, ready to show to Museum staff. 
• At times when the Museum is particularly busy, all visitors may be asked to queue outside the gates and so we recommend that all Members leave plenty of time between arrival and any booked exhibition visits. 
• All visitors must pass through a security check which involves a bag search before entering the Museum – see the Visit page for information about security checks.
