Visiting BM&AG
Blackburn Museum is open again after the Roof Renovation work
“Our Arts Council England and Department for Culture, Media and Sport MEND funded roof renovations are nearing completion and we still have scaffolding in place affecting the external appearance of the Museum but there will be full accessible entrance to the public.
“We are open as usual with the exception of our Hart Room and its collections (Icons/Coins/Medieval Manuscripts/Japanese Prints). The Hart Room will remain closed until summer 2024.
