Happy New Year!
The latest What's On guide for Northampton Museums & Art Gallery is now available to view on our website: What's On
We have a fantastic range of exhibitions and events featured in the new guide at both Northampton Museum & Art Gallery on Guildhall Road and also at Abington Park Museum.
If your New Year's Resolution is to learn something new why not book for one of our upcoming talks or lectures? Our third art history lecture series focusses on the Italian Renaissance and each session features a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with an artwork from the museum's collection.

You can also find out more about the history of shoe fashions and Northampton's boot and shoe factory heritage in two talks later this month: There's No Business Like Shoe Business

Museum closing for exciting new expansion
Sunday 19 February will mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the history of Northampton Museum & Art Gallery as we close our doors ahead of work starting on a major new expansion project. The new museum is expected to re-open in late 2018.
Abington Park Museum
Abington Park Museum will be having light refurbishment works in early 2017 to improve the Great Hall and develop a new function room. Abington will also be available for private hire and we are now accepting wedding enquiries for use of the building as a wedding venue. For more details email museums@northampton.gov.uk
