WELCOMING EMMA STUART AS MUSEUM DIRECTOR  

We welcome Emma Stuart to her new role as Museum Director.

Emma, who has worked at the museum for over 14 years, enthuses, “I’m thrilled to take up the role of Museum Director. The museum is, without question, one of the best in the country and the collections are magnificent. During my time at the museum, I have been lucky enough to work in partnership with organisations across the town, the region and nationally. I look forward to developing these further to celebrate the rich heritage of Cirencester and the Cotswolds.”
