Pre-booking for gallery visits no longer required

Entry is free and pre-booking is no longer required. At busy times we may ask you to start your visit in the Priory Gallery and Cloister Garden so that we can maintain social distancing in the galleries.

The Museum is currently closed, but we're open online...

The Museum, its buildings and Cloister Garden are currently closed, but we are working behind the scenes to get ready to welcome you back later in the year 

Our new online exhibition of highlights from our historic library is open now, and the Your Visit page is full of other ways you can visit us virtually.

Thank you for supporting the work of the Museum of the Order of St John, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
