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.
************************************************************************************************************
The Visual Arts and Design department, including the
Fine Arts and Decorative Arts & Design collections,
is closed for public enquiries, requests for the reproduction
of collection images and for viewing and research access.
The Fine Arts and the Decorative Arts staff will continue
to assist with enquiries relating to:
· offers of objects for sale to the Museum
· offers of donations for consideration by the Museum
however there may be some delays in responding to these enquiries.
************************************************************************************************************
The Communtiy History Centre remains open
by prior appointment only between 10-12 noon
and 1-4 pm Monday to Thursday.
************************************************************************************************************
Enquiries for Natural Sciences, including
Zoology and Geology, remain open.
However, people wishing to lodge specimens for identification
or information should visit the Museum's Inveresk site.
