Temporary
closures to public enquiries, collection access and reproductions
The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery is currently
involved with several major projects at its Royal Park and
Inveresk sites. These projects are part of exciting developments
that will offer significant benefits to the community. They
include work on the redevelopment of the Royal Park site,
for example. This and other exciting projects will reshape
the future identity of the Museum and its programs to the
public.
A number of departments are directly involved in these development
programs. As a result, we will have a reduced capacity to
deal with public enquiries, the provision of access to a number
of Museum collections and the provision of reproductions from
those collections.
