Celebrating International Museum Day we definitely miss all the friendly faces that come through our Museum doors. Our awesome visitors, school groups, staff, our internet cafe customers, visitors to our research departments and library, there are so many to mention. As we are more than 50 days into our nationwide lockdown, we miss all our visitors. Museums are have no meaning without you the visitor. Having the visitors engage with Musuem staff by visiting the galleries, bringing in school learners, calling in with enquiries or engaging via electronic media is what makes our day complete.
