Architects John McAslan + Partners and exhibition designers Urban Salon have been appointed to develop the plans for St Albans’ new museum and art gallery project. 

The new museum and gallery will transform the Grade II* listed Town Hall in the heart of St Albans to showcase 2,000 years of the city’s heritage.

St Albans City and District Council is working with St Albans Museums and Galleries Trust and the University of Hertfordshire Galleries on the £6.75m project. 

The council has already committed to contributing £2.25m to the project and the St Albans Museums and Galleries Trust is seeking to raise a further £1.7 million from the public, charitable trusts and local businesses.
