Worthing Museum to Close for Six Months

Worthing Museum and Art Gallery is due to close for at least 6 months to facilitate the installation of Worthing’s new Heat Network. From late March – June 2025, Hemiko will be laying new pipe infrastructure under the roads up to the Museum & Art Gallery and is scheduled to switch heat on for the building later this year.

Amanda O’Reilly, CEO and Artistic Director of WTM, said, “The inclusion of Worthing Museum & Art Gallery in the Worthing Heat Network exemplifies how arts and culture can be at the heart of our transition to a sustainable future. By taking this step, we are ensuring that our institution is part of a greener future while continuing to serve as a beacon for creativity and community.”

The closure will allow for essential construction and safety measures, as the museum is connected to the heat network. WTM’s website, blog, and social media channels will share regular updates on progress. Visitors can also look forward to detailed posts about the museum’s collections and future exhibitions during this time.
