The museum is arranged across sixteen galleries in three primary themes:
The museum has a flourishing publications department, producing books on aspects of colonial life such as the history of the Northern Rhodesia Police, and a register of titles of the regiments of the Honourable East India Company and East Indian Armies. The museum also holds the collection of artefacts of the Commonwealth Institute ; extensive still photograph, paper, film and Oral History archives, and a costume collection. ADMISSIONS INFORMATION Unlike many national museums in Britain, the BECM is not publicly-funded, but is owned and operated by a charitable trust; consequently an admission charge is made. The museum is open every day of the year except Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Normal opening hours are 10am – 5pm. Last admission is at 4.30pm. EXTERNAL LINKS
