If you are on a self-directed tour/activity, it is up to you to ensure that the above rules are followed and that your students are occupied for the duration of the visit.

Things to know about the building: SAM is in this lovely new building that is quite tall. We have had some visitors suffering vertigo in the past.

Please ensure that all teachers and students are aware that their visit to SAM:

• Is in a high building
• Will involve the use of elevators/lifts

Thank you very much, enjoy your visit to SAM!
