As the re-opening of our Medal Room approaches, we’ve welcomed back our Victoria and George Cross collection into the museum.
The precious medals have been stored safely off-site whilst redevelopment work has been taking place, but they’re now back where they belong, ready to take pride of place in their new gallery area.
An official opening and private reception for relatives of Victoria Cross recipients and the museum volunteers who have polished and re-mounted thousands of medals is being held on Sunday afternoon.
The new Medal Room will be open to museum visitors from Monday 13 May.
