Anything else you wish to tell us?
The call button for the elevator from the gift shop was tucked behind a shop display making it completely inaccessible. Please sort it out!

Thank you for the review of your visit to Modern Two and for highlighting the access issues you faced during your visit. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced and be assured that we have taken your points on board and have addressed them. The lift controls are now no longer obscured and the pathways around the shop will be kept as clear as possible to ensure access is maintained. With regard to the heavy glass doors on the first floor, there should always be a member of staff nearby to assist in opening them. Many thanks again for bringing these issues to our attention.
