Happy New Year

As we start the new year, we're all spending more time at home…again. Tell us about your home life in lockdown for our national collecting project. For anyone facing the challenges of home-learning, try our range of family activities. And if you’re busy with back-to-back video calls brighten up your background with historical interiors from the Museum. We're looking forward to reopening and are now recruiting for new roles in the Visitor Experience team
