Reserve collection
Not all of the objects in our collection are on permanent display. Those objects not displayed are referred to as our 'reserve collection' and are mainly stored off-site. We recommend you call or email before you visit if there is a particular item that you wish to see as we do provide access to objects in the reserve collection by appointment.
