Image requests

We provide images of objects from our collection free of charge for non-commercial use. Images can be approved for use in a commercial context by application to the museum. When you get in touch, let us know which object you wish to have an image of and its proposed use. Images of historic banknotes can be found on the withdrawn banknote guide?and are subject to banknote reproduction guidelines.
