Collections description
THe RLC Museum has recently reopened following a major redevelopment of the main gallery space. The museum is not large, with the main gallery covering about 400 square metres, but it has a very wide variety of displays, arranged in chronological order. There is a very large archive of over 100,000 items, which, by appointment, can be viewed by researchers.
