Can’t visit the Museum right now? Planning a trip but not sure what to expect? That’s what our virtual tour is for.

Created by the talented team at Bluewire Hub Ltd, this incredible creation means you can visit the Museum without even leaving the house. You can get up close and personal with rare repair and recovery vehicles, peer into display cases and even admire paintings on the walls.

'Visitors are often surprised that the Museum is so big' says Front of House Manager, Claire. 'This tour will prepare them, let them know you really can stay all day'.
