Visit the permanent collection and our special exhibitions The world of Stonehenge and the Citi exhibition Feminine power: the divine to the demonic.
Members can visit all special exhibitions for free as well as enjoy exclusive viewings, events and online content. You won't need to book to visit The world of Stonehenge (until 17 July) or the Citi exhibition Feminine power: the divine to the demonic (until 25 September 2022) but you'll need to show your Membership card to gain entry.
If you're visiting before your Membership card arrives, on the day of your visit, please bring the confirmation emails of your Membership purchase to the Membership Desk in the Great Court. We'll then issue a temporary card to access your on-site benefits.
The safety and security of our staff and visitors is very important to us. Face coverings are recommended for the protection of yourself and others, unless you’re exempt. Hand sanitiser stations can be found throughout the Museum and we recommend washing or sanitising your hands regularly. See the Visit page for more information.
The visitor and Member cloakroom is located near the Main entrance on Great Russell Street. See the Members' FAQs for more information.
