The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. When I arrived there was a member of staff at the entrance and they were proactive in assisting me in using the passenger lift. There's more staff at reception and at the exhibitions.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I'm a regular visitor and I enjoy their exhibitions and events, but sometimes I just pop in like I did on this occasion to go to their café as it's good to now somewhere to meet friends were there is nice food and good accessibility. The galleries are closed on Mondays but the café, restaurant and shop are open.
