National Museums – free entry to many national collections across the UK

The National Museums network and many major national museums in the UK offer free entry to permanent collections, allowing UK residents and visitors to explore art, history, science and cultural exhibitions without an admission charge. Some special exhibitions may have a fee, but general galleries and core displays are widely free and accessible; museums often provide free online resources and family activities as well. Check the National Museums or individual museum websites for opening times, booking requirements and details of any chargeable temporary exhibitions.
