It's worth noting that there have been Wikimedia events at several of these museums in the past:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Judges%27_Lodgings/event

Clem Rutter and I have been in contact with Jo Hayward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jhayward001) to see if there was anything that Wikimedia could do to help here (e.g., holding additional events/taking photos/improving the articles), but nothing concrete came out of those discussions. Obviously, they have quite a lot of other things to be worrying about at the moment!

Thanks,
Mike

Museums close fairly regularly (although not normally in that number)
. Is it possible WMUK could keep track of this and give us a heads up
as a sort of "last chance to see"?
