Today we’re saying goodbye to our inspirational Museum Director Amanda Hart. Over the past 20 years she has transformed the museum into what it is today! From incredible fundraising efforts, to re-branding, and refurbishment, she has achieved so much for the museum and we are really going to miss her.
