50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MUSEUM 2012
In 2012 the Museum will be celebrating its 50th year of serving the local community as a Museum, Art Gallery and Community Resource. There are a number of events throughout the year including a number of 1960s themed displays around the Museum which will have been done in collaboration with the Friends of Saddleworth Museum and the History Club of Saddleworth School.
The biggest project which we are hoping to get funding for from the Heritage Lottery is a scheme to refurbish many areas of the museum including new displays, new storage for the collection, a study room and better disabled access – if you would like to help through a donation or sponsorship we would love to hear from you – please contact Peter Fox the curator if you would like to talk about the project – either phone 01457 874093 or curator@saddleworthmuseum.co.uk the main aim of the project is to put the Museum on a sound footing for the next 50 years.
