These include contemporary art from local and nationally famous artists, and loans from major museums and galleries in the UK and overseas. As well as art and history, there is often the chance to explore science and the natural world – usually with a family-friendly theme. If you’re visiting with children (or with your parents!) you’ll find plenty to keep them occupied. There are lots of hands-on activities and interactive displays.
