Update on Horsham Museum and Art Gallery – 18 September

The museum is now open as normal, following a break-in that occurred in the early hours of the morning of 16 September.

The incident resulted in damage to the front window, which now requires repair. No artefacts were damaged or stolen in relation to the incident.
