National museums and galleries — free entry to many UK collections

Many major state museums and galleries across the UK offer free general admission to their permanent collections, allowing UK residents (and visitors) to see national archaeology, art, history and science displays without charge. Specific special exhibitions may still charge for entry, and individual museum services vary, but general access and online learning resources are free. Check the National Museums website for the list of member museums, opening times and guidance on booking free entry where required.
