The museum is now closed for an extensive restoration and redevelopment programme.
When it re-opens in 2007, visitors will be able to enjoy a range of exciting new displays and activities in a refurbished, accessible museum.
These changes include a complete transformation of the Children's Gallery, which will enable young visitors and their carers to learn together in a stimulating transport-themed environment.
The first floor will be converted to provide two dedicated education spaces for school workshops, community groups and adult learners.
