Access
We aim to ensure that The South Asia Collection is open to all for everyone’s enjoyment.
• Admission is free, there is no need to book in advance.
• The entrance is step-free but there are two doors. The outer door is usually open but the inner door, with handle that opens in both directions, is closed in colder months. On the outside of the building there is a doorbell on a wooden post that can be used so staff can open the door for you if needed.
• The ground floor of the building is step-free but access to the first floor is by stairs only. The clothing and jewellery department of the museum shop is on the first floor but staff are happy to bring any products downstairs that you may like to see.
• The ground floor is fully wheelchair accessible although larger mobility vehicles may find some areas less accessible. The main display cases and temporary exhibition area are fully accessible for all types of mobility aids.

• There is no hearing loop in the building.
• We have no allocated Blue Badge parking but if you require parking close to the building, please let us know in advance and we will reserve you a space.
