In October staff and supporters of the museum were delighted to learn that the National Lottery, at the second time of asking, is prepared to contribute £4.7m towards a major capital project that will greatly extend and enhance what is currently on offer to visitors. A new building is proposed at the bottom of the garden in Weavers Lane which will provide enhanced exhibition spaces, more factilities for children, and the reinstatement of the much missed cafe.
December is a really good time to visit Gainsborough's House. There is currently a marvellous temporary exhibition French Drawings from the time of Gainsborough, and the shop looks absolutely lovely. It has been rearranged recently to reflect Gainsborough related themes, and has a wide range of delectable gifts, plus christmas cards and unusual decorations.
The Museum is open every day of the week, Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 11a.m. to 5 p.m.
