The Jane Austen's Leatherhead exhibit
The Leatherhead Museum is now closed for it's winter break. We close our door to visitors during the coldest months for several reasons. The first is that our Grade 2 listed 1640s building is very cold in winter and not a very comfortable place to be for visitors or our wonderful staff of volunteer stewards. The second is that we have a long list of maintenance jobs to keep the building water tight and safe. The four months that we are closed is also our opportunity to clean our precious artefacts, design new exhibits, and to plan a program of community events for the whole year.
Look out for news of our grand reopening in April and a very exciting collaboration with the National Trust Box Hill planned for July!
