New-look museum reopens in St Albans
By Pete Hayman
A museum in St Albans, Hertfordshire, has reopened its doors to the public following a month-long closure to allow renovation work to be carried out.
The Museum of St Albans scheme has included a remodelling of the attraction to house the University of Hertfordshire's Margaret Harvey Gallery, which is to be unveiled in December. Sheila Burton, portfolio holder for culture and heritage for St Albans City and District Council, said: "Not only has [the museum] had a facelift, but the partnership with The Margaret Harvey Gallery will mean that exhibitions are held at the venue that will appeal to a broader range of people in the district.
"The museum's new look will reinforce its position as a key destination for arts and culture in St Albans."
