The campaign to save Lowewood Museum from closure received a massive boost when it was announced at the Friends of Lowewood Museum open meeting this evening that Sir Antony Gormley had written an open letter to Broxbourne Borough Council in which he made a passionate plea to keep Lowewood Museum alive and relevant. He said “LOCAL MUSEUMS LIKE THIS PROVIDE AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG CREATIVE MINDS TO ENGAGE WITH HISTORY_________IT IS OFTEN THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND FAMILIARITY OF LOCAL HISTORY THAT WIDER INTEREST IS SPARKED.”
