Terms and Conditions

GENERAL

We sell tickets on our own behalf. The quantity of tickets made available for sale by us vary on an event by event basis. Tickets are generally sold through several distribution points, including online and in person at our museum reception or shop. All distribution points access the same ticketing system and inventory, therefore tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may be made available at our discretion. To purchase items from us online, you must be 18 or over and have a valid credit/debit card issued in your name.
