Announcing our exciting new future

 

 

We are delighted to announce a major new £4.2 million museum redevelopment project which started in September 2011. The entire museum frontage will be replaced with new entrance, gift shop and restaurant as well as more exhibition space and improved visitor facilities. The museum will be open throughout the build and we will do all we can to keep the disruption to a minimum however some disruption is envisaged. We advise visitors to contact us if you have any major concerns. Please monitor our progress, including up-to-date information on all the areas affected by the works.
