Exceptional staff and very accessible - Thank you

This is a review specifically for the Chanel exhibition only, which is on until 25 February 2024. The exhibition is in the Sainsbury Gallery. The exhibition is very accessible and staff were amazingly helpful.

Bit of a maze but a good day out

Wet winter afternoon, perfect for another London museum! Went round what I think was most of it, even following the map I got easilly lost but that's just through lack of concentration! Staff all very helpful.
