I was at the local resident's association Zoom meeting on Monday evening when I was reminded that not everyone knows that we had Swindon Museum and Art Gallery at Apsley House, on the corner of Bath Road and Victoria Hill, which was an absolute gem. It closed on 18 March 2020 during the first Covid lockdown and has not opened again. The Save our Museum and Gallery group, SoMAG has produced a new poster for people's windows to highlight the fact that we need a museum and art gallery in Swindon. Please either print a copy of the poster, or request one to advertise the demise of SM&AG, and put it in your window.
We loved the previous 'Save our Croc' poster but it relied on people knowing about our love from the 'croc' or gharial, this one seemed more to the point.
I'd also like to include a link to Angela's blog post: https://swindonian.me/2021/10/29/culture-and-the-high-street/ where she talks about the importance of keeping ope museums and galleries.
