“It’s been a long, long journey, years and years of ambition to have this project…at last, the building work starts!”
And what does this stage of the project mean? The Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery have been carefully decanted and all exhibits and artefacts moved out. Travelling and pop up exhibitions will happen until the building work is completed in 2020. Now, the contractors can begin the work. And in 2020, Plymouth will have a centre where all of its rich histories can be viewed and celebrated. Paul Brookes added:
“It will be a project that is three times the size of the current museum and art gallery and we will have the spaces to do some really great exhibitions.”
Ground Breaking Plymouth History Centre
To mark the occasion, Plymouth’s Mayor donned wellies and picked up a spade. Plymouth City Councillors attended, as well as representatives from Wilmott Dixon, the building contractors.
It was a proud moment. And we were glad to video it as part of our ongoing work with the Plymouth History Centre.
