North Hertfordshire Museum will reopen its doors to the public on Tuesday 18 May.
The Museum has been closed to visitors since the third national lockdown earlier this year. During that time, museum staff have been busy preparing for exhibitions for the reopening, which is finally here.
Frozen In Time – Early Photographs of North Herts will run until 27 June and features a series of 48 photographs of North Herts in Victorian and Edwardian times from the museum’s collections. The fascinating images of towns and villages in the district offer a snapshot into the daily lives of people who lived and worked there during those eras.
Families with young children will be delighted to hear that the next exhibition will be The Tiger Who Came to Tea, launching on 7 July – an exhibition celebrating the classic children’s book by Judith Kerr, and an opportunity to meet the tiger from the book and have tea with him!
Visitor safety is a high priority and a number of COVID safety measures have been put in place – including a one-way system around the site and hand sanitisers throughout the building. The wearing of masks is required for all visitors, unless they are exempt.
Steve Crowley, NHDC’s Service Director – Commercial said: “We are very pleased we are able to reopen the museum again to the public and encourage everyone to come along and enjoy what it has to offer.”
The museum is free to visit and open from 10.30am to 4pm, Tuesday to Saturday, and Sunday 11am to 3pm. Refreshments and a gift shop are available.
North Herts Museum is located at 14 Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts SG5 1JE. For more information visit https://northhertsmuseum.org/ or call 01462 474554.
