I've just been onto their web store and bought a few items as well as some tickets for entry, we're only an hours drive from there and I'm sure my two boys would love to see their exhibits and the tech I used to use as a kid, probably just so they can take the mickey out of how old I am. :)

Uh, did you miss this:

Things are tough right now ...

They're tough for everyone :( But when coronavirus hit here in the UK, the museum had to close its doors to the public, and we lost practically all our income overnight.

It's closed.

Weird that they still sell tickets.

Many businesses in the UK are selling tickets/packages/passes preemptively of the restrictions being lifted.

But, even more just don't have a system that lets them easily turn off items for sale, pause subscriptions, or pause reservations. I'd imagine it's just been forgotten...

Nope, they're trying to keep cashflow coming in.
These are not mutually exclusive.
