Leicester Museum and Art Gallery

The works will be transformational and change the way the museum and gallery are organised as well as extensive repairs to the external fabric of the building.

The cafe is to be moved into a late nineteenth century part of the building, reusing the original cast iron supported north light roof structure and opening onto the public thoroughfare of New Walk. Behind this will be a new contemporary art gallery which again reuses the original iron structure of a space that is currently concealed from view.
