IMPORTANT COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello Everyone
During this very difficult time that we find ourselves in, we at Winchcombe Museum want to retain some form of normality to our everyday lives. So, as we are unable to actually open the museum to you as visitors, we have decided to take the museum and some of its more important and interesting items and collection directly to you via the website and other ‘social media’ platforms.
VIRTUAL MUSEUM PRESENTATIONS
During the past months, we have been highlighting on our ‘Virtual Museum’ pages some of these through a collection of photographs, text, downloadable documents and where appropriate some audio. We hope that in some way this compensates for you not being able to visit us at the moment.
We will continue to do this whilst the current situation exists.
We have such a lot to show you that we have added some simple graphics to enable you to see the 'virtual presentations' easier - they are still in the main menu as well. To view them simply click on any one of the images below and it will take you immediately to the presentation. You can then safely navigate round the other presentations.
The AUGUST/SEPT Virtual Museum presentation is: Spoonley Villa
Please feel free to comment on any of the ‘presentations’ that you will see, and also any suggestions on others that you would like to see.
The AUGUST Virtual Museum presentation is: Spoonley Villa
The museum is totally volunteer run and we have some exciting plans for the future to bring it up to 21st century requirements and to protect its future.
Please take time to visit our other pages, especially GET INVOLVED page where you will find more information on how to become a volunteer, or get in touch.
TO ALL RESIDENTS OF WINCHCOMBE
