Ramp at entrance no1, for advance bookings, groups and individuals. Step at entrance no.2 for advance ticket sales.

This lift is also available for the elderly who are unable to use the steps at the exit, but are limited to small groups of 3-5 people. Larger groups will have to come down either on foot or using the two lifts at the entrance, misuse of which is monitored. In order to use the lifts it is always advisable to check with staff on arrival at the gallery.
