It's !
Our museum is only open because of all the volunteers (past and present) who give their time and energy. Trustees, those that care for the acquisitions, researchers, IT, the management team and the those on the reception desk - THANK YOU.

For the last week of we're looking to the future.
We launched a new page late 2024 to help promote our museum to a wider audience (hope you like it!) and this year caught up with modern technology by using QR codes to help you access both the FB page and our website!
If you scan the code for the website it should take you straight to it, and do encourage people who don't follow our page to view it using our QR code. Thank you 😁

If you'd like to let us know what you think of our social media - do put a comment below.
