We The Curious is reopening in November 2020.

Our doors may be closed right now but inside there’s a hive of activity. We’re hard at work building our major new experience Project What If. This means a total transformation of our foyer and ground floor and this takes time.

We can’t wait to welcome you back!

We are temporarily closed.

Once we reopen, our opening times will be slightly different.

Monday: Closed
Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday to Sunday: 10am-5pm

Adult admission tickets are £14.50 and Child tickets are £9.50.
Personal Assistants and Members come for free.
Concessions are available.
