THE River & Rowing Museum in Henley has been awarded a grant of more than £150,000 to help it to bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic.
The museum, which will re-open on May 20, applied for help from the Government’s culture recovery fund.
Its income has dropped by 60 per cent compared with last year. Even when the museum has been able to open, attendances have had to be reduced to make it safer for visitors.
The £152,071 grant will be used to help the venue adapt further by providing more online services.
Jon O’Donoghue, head of public engagement, said: “We want our museum and its collections to continue to be at the heart of our communities, both as a museum for a physical visit and as a fantastic resource online.
