We are thrilled to announce that the Museum has been awarded £413,015 in capital investment from Arts Council England’s Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND).
The funding will be used to repair and renew the roofs of St John’s Gate, improve the historic building’s resilience to extreme weather, and add state-of-the-art breathable insulation to increase energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.
These vital improvements will ensure that we can continue to share this remarkable architectural gem with audiences for decades to come. Work will begin later this year and we will remain open and accessible throughout.
