Includes the Attic. Displaying fantastical creations from lions to flying saucers, this steampunk-styled exhibit space is a museum experience with a difference. The Attic begs you to be curious. To explore. To listen. Even to time-travel. And to be totally engaged. You never know what you’ll find.
There are wheelchair accessible toilets on the ground floor at the main entrance and on the third floor (The Attic).
