Cast Courts, the jewellery gallery and the fashion collection are the ones people come back for. The garden in the middle is open in summer and is a decent place to sit. Friday nights run late.

  • HoursDaily, 10.00 to 17.45. Friday until 22.00, though some galleries close at 17.45. Closed 24 to 26 December.
