You’re invited to come and explore Buxton Museum and Art Gallery once again as it opens the doors to its new home this week.
It opened in its interim home yesterday (Thursday 15 October), with an official opening event planned for next Thursday 22 October.
The museum and art gallery, known as BMAG, now has its own dedicated building next to the town’s library on Kents Bank Road with space to showcase its collections, host exhibitions and welcome visitors while work continues to find it a permanent home.
As well as the displays of artefacts and artwork, including the famous Buxton Bear, the space will support a wider programme of events, educational activities, school visits and community engagement. There will also be a gift shop. Admission is free.Watch a short video introducing the temporary home.The museum and art gallery closed at its former home in Peak Buildings, Terrace Road, due to structural concerns in the building in 2023.
