We are delighted to have been a finalist for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2017.

The Lapworth Team have thoroughly enjoyed their experience throughout the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2017 campaign, and our thanks go out to all staff at Art Fund for their support, help and advice during the process. We congratulate the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield for their worthy success, having been named Art Fund Museum of the Year 2017.

We have been linked with some truly outstanding museums and galleries and the Lapworth Team would like to thank and congratulate them all, and wish them every success in the future.

Finally we would like to thank all of our staff, volunteers and visitors for their support over the last few months.

The last year has been a transformative one for the Lapworth. We reopened in June 2016 following a £2.7m redevelopment that created inspiring new galleries and displays, improved educational and visitor facilities, and enhanced collections storage and care. Our important scientific collections are now accessible to many more people than before, from a wide diversity of ages and backgrounds.
