Museum Closure

Saffron Walden Museum is closed to the public from Wednesday 18^th March 2020 until further notice, and all Museum events and activities are postponed. This is a precautionary measure against corona virus. 

Update  Friday 26th June 2020 : 

We welcome the government’s announcement that museums in England can re-open from the 4th July.  Our first priority is the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors.  We are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that all necessary safety measures are in place for re-opening in line with the government’s guidelines.  We will announce our official opening date (which is likely to be later in the Summer), across our social media channels, website and local media in due course.  Thank you for your continuing support of the Museum.

We want to keep you up to date with our work behind the scenes, as well as bringing you new resources to support you to keep learning and exploring while you are at home. As well as our social media channels we have created a new blog – with learning resources, collections updates, exhibitions online and much more!

Here’s the Promo for our New Blog!
