LOSTWITHIEL MUSEUM IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Although the UK Government has lifted the coronavirus restrictions to allow museums to reopen from 4 July 2020, the Lostwithiel Museum Association has taken the decision that the Museum will remain closed. The health and safety of all our volunteers and visitors comes first. As those who have previously visited the Museum know, the layout of the Museum does not allow for appropriate social distancing nor the required hygiene procedures. This decision will be kept under review and we hope to be able to welcome you back to the Museum very soon. Meanwhile, the Museum volunteers are continuing to work behind the scenes on projects for your future enjoyment.
