The Royal Museum houses outstanding international collections of Decorative Arts, Science and Industry, Archaeology and the Natural World. Some exhibits are millions of years old, other less than a decade. Together they reflect the diversity of life on earth, and the ingenuity of humankind.

The Royal Museum is a magnificent Victorian building distinguished by its soaring glass-topped roof which floods the Main Hall with natural light.
