Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah reopened today after repairs were made to the building’s damaged air conditioning system, which had caused concerns for public safety.
The Queensland Road facility was closed last week after a piece of the air conditioner ceiling duct became loose.
An interim solution to secure the duct has now been put in place until full repairs can be made to the air conditioning system.
One of the museum’s most significant and thought-provoking exhibitions – of breastplates given to Aboriginal people associated with the northern rivers in the late 1800s and early 1900s – ends this Saturday.
Other current exhibitions include some of the most beautiful butterflies from Australia, Asia and South America, featured in the Collector’s Cabinet until February 25.
Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah is located at 2 Queensland Rd, Murwillumbah and is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm.
