Poole Museum is undertaking a £7.7m redevelopment project, including urgent conservation to the stonework walls of the medieval Wool Hall.

Restoration and conservation work on two historically significant buildings on the Poole Museum site has begun.

The ‘Our Museum: Rediscovering Poole’s Maritime Heritage’ project, which will cost £4.37million, is to receive £2.24 million lottery funding.

The new exhibition, which opens on 18 June, will illustrate the stories of Poole Gypsies and travellers.

Thanks to funding of £80,000 from Historic England there will be a number of events over a three-year period in Poole High Street.

If a £2.2m bid to the National Heritage Lottery Fund is successful, Poole Museum will undergo major transformation works.

Poole Museum and Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum in Bournemouth have reopened today, Tuesday 7 July.
