A different setting for a visit

A collection within a business calls for different preparation from a stand-alone museum gallery. Check whether you can look around at the time you want and whether there is an opportunity for an explanation.

Start with the trade

When you visit, ask which objects are on display and what they were used for. That is a concrete way to explore the subject without needing to know anything about the history of the barber’s trade.

Have guidebook hours confirmed in advance

External guides mention different start times and the option of an appointment on some Sundays. This does not make current museum access sufficiently clear. Use these listings as a reason to get in touch.

Before you go

Current opening times have not been confirmed by a primary source. Get in touch before you set off; museum visits may depend on how the barber’s shop is run.
