SOUTHBURN Archaeological Museum (SAM) has announced an open day to celebrate reopening following the winter closedown period.
During the closedown SAM has undergone improvements thanks to funding from Leader and has had display cabinets replaced and refurbished. Many artefacts have been conserved by York Archaeological Trust and others have been displayed at the Beverley Treasure House.
SAM staff have been busy re-organising displays and updating information to enhance visitor experiences.
The open day will take place on March 17 10am - 4pm. Visitors are invited to celebrate the improvements to the museum by taking part in unique ‘hands-on’ activities, view ‘before and after’ photos of the conserved artefacts and enjoy music from the Doncaster Waites who will be playing 17th century music on replica instruments.
For more information on SAM’s location or for those who cannot make the open day and wish to arrange a private visit call 01377 271180 or visit www.samatsouthburn.com.
