New St.Albans Museum

A quick trip back to St. Albans from Scotland - not really!
The new St. Albans museum opens in the old town hall in a week's time but we were invited to a preview yesterday with the intention of overcrowding the venue so the staff could spot any potential 'pinch points' where congestion could occur.
There were a lot of staff there, and there's a lot of work still to do.
 
The gift shop run in conjunction with the V & A museum in London. 

The old courtroom which is where visitors are expected to consume their food and drink from the café - not sure about that idea...

Ceiling in the courtroom

Impressive 'sculpture'

15th century printer which will be alongside a modern 3D printer

The assembly room which has been beautifully restored
