Open Wednesday to Sunday 9.45am – 4pm / December Weekends (until 22 December) 9.45am – 6.15pm
Please note that we are set to temporarily pause our iconic Underground Tours, from Sunday 29 December until April 2025, to install a brand new winding engine which allows us to take visitors 140 metres underground. The Museum will remain open with a brand-new digital immersive experience launching in January 2025.
Set up by Lord Anthony Ashley Cooper, the 1842 Children’s Employment Commission collected information about the condition and treatment of children working underground.
