Access

The Peace Museum is closed and will not be reopening in our current premises. The team is working on finding a new bigger, better and more accessible premises. Click here to find out more about this exciting news.

Our current home is located up 60 steps and the building does not have a lift. It has been a goal for us to move to accessible premises for some time and we are delighted we are currently working towards this goal.

Once we have found our new home, this page will be updated with all of the new accessibility information. In the meantime, we are aiming to make our collection accessible digitally through exhibitions and projects. If you have any questions or issues with any of our digital outputs not being accessible, please let us know [email protected].
