Welcome to the Winchester Museums newsletter

Hello and welcome to the first issue of Winchester Museums’ new look newsletter.

We hope you will enjoy reading our exciting news. ‘Review’ and its sister publication ‘Preview’ – which provides listings of all Winchester Museums’ forthcoming events and exhibitions – will play leap frog with an issue of one or the other appearing every three months.
