We are excited to announce the Museum has been awarded a £241,918 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to work with the local community on ‘Museum Making’. Creating new displays, projects and exhibitions telling the stories of Bath’s working people, their trades, jobs, and working lives. This three-year project will secure a long-term future for the Museum enabling us to share the story of ‘What Bath Makes and What Makes Bath’. We are energised by what the grant enables us to do: step-up access and participation, increase visitor numbers, and secure the Museum’s future. The project will build on the skills of our Museum volunteers, attracting new helpers, strengthen our network of groups and organisations, whilst raising public awareness of the importance of our local heritage.
