"We know that everyone has found lockdown difficult and the museum can help by offering a haven of tranquility, as well as exciting adventure with our amazing explorer family programme to get everyone out in the fresh air enjoying museum collections in the beautiful surroundings of the museum garden.
We are very grateful to Heart of Bucks for helping to make it possible to open for some of the summer”
