Opening date for Northampton Museum and Art Gallery

A refurbished and expanded Northampton Museum and Art Gallery will reopen to the public on 20 June.

The museum has doubled in size and now includes a temporary exhibitions gallery, schools activity space and a Shoe Gallery for Northampton's internationally significant shoe collection. 

The area's shoemaking heritage is celebrated in a new gallery shop that focuses on local artists and makers. 

Northampton Borough Councillor Jonathan Nunn said: “This much anticipated development, in the heart of our expanding Cultural Quarter, has been five years in the making and represents a significant addition to Northampton’s cultural life."
