Such a shame when museums close. Staff here can certainly keep an eye out
for these kinds of closures and let you know via this mailing list - and
great if others on this list could do the same when/if you hear of imminent
closures. Cheers, Lucy

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

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"?
