Museum Redevelopment Progress
The outline design for our redevelopment was completed in September, and we are now working on the detailed internal layout of cases, objects, and accompanying text. The museum is currently closed as we remove and condition artifacts for storage or redisplay.
In November, we will remove all the cases, make infrastructure upgrades to heating and lighting, and begin decorating, laying new flooring, and repositioning cases. Afterward, the designers will install mounts, labels, and set dressing and we will put our objects back out. This will be followed by an audio-visual fit-out, and we plan to reopen in early March.
Formal Opening
The museum’s official opening will take place on Saturday, 10th May 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, with a ‘Victory’ special exhibition. Please save the date—we hope you can attend. Further details will follow. We are also hoping for a Royal visit during the spring or summer.
