The events, programmes and activities at the museum aimed to provoke questions, challenge prejudice, and encourage understanding.
The museum closed during the covid-19 pandemic in the UK and reopened for two days a week in July 2021, but visitor numbers and income did not recover. The museum closed indefinitely on 30 July 2023, loaning collections to other heritage organisations, intending to sell the building and move elsewhere taking up to five years to plan and finance the move.
