Museums and Galleries
Tameside Museums and Galleries are temporarily closed until further notice.
Museums and some other services in Tameside are being temporarily delivered differently in response to the situation with Covid-19 (Coronavirus).
As Tameside Council takes steps to protect the community and redeploy its workforce and resources to deliver essential services, museums and galleries and some other public facings buildings will remain closed and services will instead be delivered in alternative ways. The changes will take effect from midnight Wednesday 18 March 2020.
We will be working behind the scenes to ensure our museum collections are both secure and safe for the duration of our closure.
Whilst we are closed you can still access lots of information about our collections. www.themenbehindthemedals.org.uk has information about soldiers who served in the Manchester Regiment. You can find information about our art collection at www.artuk.org You can find information here on our website and you can contact us via our website with enquiries. We will also be continuing on social media - you can follow us on Twitter @tmbc_culture and also on Facebook – look for Tameside Libraries and Culture. We’ve also created lots of craft activities for you to enjoy at home and you can see highlights our latest exhibition Nature’s Wonders.
We want to take this opportunity at this unprecedented time to thank you for your support and loyalty to Tameside’s museums and galleries.
