At the Ansett Museum. We are currently CLOSED but hopefully we will be welcoming visitors to the museum in the near future. After being closed for almost nine months a great deal of work, especially in the area of cleaning etc, needs to be done before we open. Then there are the Covid-19 regulations to heed. We apologise to all who have planned to travel this way and visit the museum in the coming weeks.
