Brighton Toy and Model Museum: July 2011

Now open on Mondays! (for a couple of months)

The museum's normal opening times are Tuesday to Saturday (opening one hour later on Saturdays), but for the next two months, starting today (Monday 25th July 2011), we're trialling the idea of also being open on Mondays (10am-5pm).

So that's now Monday-to-Saturday, until the end of September. If Mondays are especially convenient for you, mark your diary.

1840's carriages, restoration work

two of the six restored pieces

The Museum Director, Chris Littledale, has just finished a period of restoration work on a collection of six very special 5"-scale carriages and pieces of rolling-stock that were originally built back in the 1840's, for their owner, The Steam Museum in County Kildare: http://www.steam-museum.ie/

The carriages left Chris' museum workshop today.
