Beta testing at the Museum

We are continually working to improve the Museum's websites for our users.

We design and develop features, functionality and improvements to our websites in an iterative and dynamic way.

A 'beta' label means that we have released a newly developed digital product or functionality as a work in progress that will be reviewed and upgraded based on learnings from the test phase.

New products may not work as you would like them to. Your feedback will help us make improvements.

Once the testing phase is complete, the beta label is removed - though we continue to monitor the performance of products beyond this point and learn from our users' experiences.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the Museum's beta tests - it will help us to identify bugs and concerns, as well as features that you like. This will enable us to improve our current and future digital products.
