What's In Store? North Hertfordshire Museum Exhibition

This exhibition explores the varied collection of objects that make up the North Herts Museum’s expansive storage, as well as the ambition for the Museum in the years ahead.

The exhibition comes at a pivotal moment following North Herts Council’s recent acquisition of an industrial unit in Letchworth, to store everything which is not on display in the new museum. This is part of an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime project that will help protect the area’s history. The new £3 million building and redevelopment will ensure the Museum retains accreditation status, enabling it to apply for grants and continue to host exhibitions, whilst also safely storing and safeguarding thousands of important, historical items.

This exhibition is in The Arches, part of the upstairs Terrace Gallery.

This exhibition demonstrates that what you see on display at a museum is just the tip of the iceberg of ‘what’s in store.’
