Does anyone know exactly whats happening with Western Park Museum, it's been hidden in plastic sheeting for ages now!! everytime I go past - workmen seem to be walking around, diggers and cement trucks trying to park up.

Any info to enlighten us would be appreciated. :thumbsup:

Gooling?? :hihi:

Dear Abdul,

Why not let us all know - so those who cannot be bothered to google can simply read it all from the site that is meant to be all about Sheffield anyway!?

But cheers anyway - will check it out.:thumbsup:

Lazy, lazy people :nono:

I cant wait for it to open again, my kids love it in there. Hope they decided to bring back the bees :)

They better not have got rid of the moth-eaten lion, the bear and the sumo wrestlers with pubes.

Not yet, re-opens in the Autumn. Bigger, better and with more interactive exhibits than the threadbare stuffed animal.

I'll confirm with Jon (he works for them ) and advise you on an actual date of re-opening. It's been shut for yonks so hopefully the wait will be well worth it.

Well I cant wait for it to open, really looking forward to taking the kids :D

Hope they've kept the bears

Where do you get Autumn from? I haven't found any date promised, only later in the year. That could mean the 30th December. They don't seem to have a clue when they will be ready.

When work started, there was a sign on the fences of Western Park that sated the museum would be opening in the Autumn of 2005, later revised to 2006:o.
