Why do I have to book to visit the ARC?

Due to the sensitivity and value of our collections we need to ensure they are safe and secure. Therefore, we operate under a booking system for researchers and tours. Book your free ARC tour here.

We are currently looking into ways to open the entrance to the ARC to ensure members of the public can see inside.
