Set over three floors, the newly created gallery space showcases over 2,000 years of priceless heritage and displays contemporary artworks – sharing local, national and world treasures with all.
Promising fresh experiences each time you visit, come and enjoy regularly changing exhibitions and cutting edge art installations, take part in the vibrant programme of events, and explore the fascinating histories of the Town Hall, its Assembly Room, Courtroom and Cells. Explore our permanent timeline of the story of St Albans: The City That Went Uphill and our changing display St Albans on Demand.
The beautiful historic spaces, such as the octagonal courtroom and subterranean cells, have now been fully restored and preserved for future generations. Visitors are encouraged to soak up the atmosphere in these unique spaces and learn more about how they were used.
In addition to the restoration of the Town Hall's historic spaces, several new spaces have been created. Glazed links have been added to the first floor providing wonderful rooftop views. A new basement gallery has been hand excavated and will house the museum's flagship exhibitions.
The ground floor has also been renovated to accommodate a brand new learning studio, visitor information point, gift shop and café.
