Lift information and Assistance
As you can see from the above left picture, our lift is not a moving box, it is just a platform that moves up and down to get you into and out of the museum.
It can hold a maximum of 6 people or 500kg (78 Stones).
The door is 90cm (31 inches) wide and 200cm (6' 6") high. The platform is 100cm (3' 3") wide, 140cm (4' 7")deep.
The lift takes around 24 seconds to travel up to the first floor and 24 seconds to return to the Ground floor.
Should you need assistance there is a doorbell just outside the front door.
