 Museum Refurbishment Plans
Wrexham County Borough Council have exciting plans to refurbish and expand the Wrexham County Borough Museum.
Introduction
The plans will restore an important listed building in the town and create a new flagship visitor attraction in the town. The refurbished Museum will have innovative and changing exhibitions that celebrate the history and culture of Wrexham and its local communities, and provide good access to its archives and local studies resources. It will also incorporate dedicated facilities for the use of schools and other groups.
At present the Council has allocated resources towards the development of a Stage 1 bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will be submitted later this year with further funding allocated to the full scale redevelopment if the bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund is successful. We would like to hear your views on our refurbishment plans.
The Museum will interpret the extensive local collections in a way that is designed to appeal to families and schools, and to attract visitors from further afield. Many of the collections will be displayed for the first time, and the Museum will include a home for the Welsh Football Collection, and celebrate the achievements of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. The County Borough's important industries and trades such as coal, steel, brick and tile and clock making will also be featured alongside displays about social history and stories of local people from all walks of life. The exhibitions will make use of interactive and hands-on displays designed to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
The building will be designed so that it can display works from important national collections such as the National Library of Wales and National Museums and Galleries of Wales.
