​

What measures and cleaning standards are you putting in place to keep visitors safe?

In addition to monitored crowd capacities, physical distancing and the wearing of face masks, we have implemented an additional cleaning schedule for surfaces and amenities at the Museum and sanitising stations at the entrance and bathrooms for you to clean your hands.

On arrival, you will be asked to check in using the Service Victoria App. Please help us by linking your COVID-19 digital certificate to the Service Victoria app before your visit. Admission staff will be available to help you register if needed.​
