The Horsham Museum and Art Gallery which was closed yesterday (Tuesday 16 September) following a break-in that occurred in the early hours of the morning of 16 September, is expected to re-open today at 1pm.

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