Level −1 serves the Pigott Theatre, with a theatre foyer, cloakroom and toilets. Use your event instructions when arriving for a talk, screening or performance. The stair and lift serve different visitor levels, so check the floor number before leaving the foyer. The exhibition level is Level −2, separate from this theatre and facilities level. A general collection visit takes place mainly on Level 2. Keeping those numbers distinct can save an unnecessary journey when you want a break, a stored bag or the start of an event.
Before you arrive
