The Museum and Coronavirus

In the light of the Government’s and health experts’ advice, the Trustees of Radstock Museum have made the decision to close the Museum with immediate effect and to cancel all Museum events until further notice.

If you are a Museum supporter and love jigsaws there are some digital ones to play with for free on this LINK.  Enjoy.

Stay safe and look out for news of when we are able to re-open.
