The new Beaney project: art museum and library

Canterbury City Council and Kent County Council are moving forward with plans to redevelop the existing Beaney Institute museum and library in the centre of Canterbury's High Street.

The Heritage Lottery Fund has allocated £6.5 million for the project to conserve and enhance this amazing late Victorian building, provide a brand new extension, and transform the range and quality of displays and services which it offers.

• Updated plans and drawings of the proposed changes to the Beaney are now available. These drawings have been revised in response to feedback taken at recent public consultations.
• An up-to-date summary of the project is now available to download in Adobe PDF format (2 pages, 206 kilobytes)
