It opens to the public monthly, or by arrangement. There are also other open days, which tend to take place during the Spring and Summer Bank Holidays.^[3]

The Museum Collection Centre is also home to The Museum in a Box service which enables schools and community groups to borrow original artefacts.

In September 2014 then-trainee curator Lukas Large uncovered a taxidermied specimen of the long-extinct North American passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in the collection.^[4]
