Mallala Museum will be closed until May 20th to allow the upgrading of the stairs in the Old Mill Building. This long awaited repair will make the upstairs gallery more accessible and bring the building to the required standard of fire safety. We look forward to the museum reopening, just in time for our "About Time" open day on the 22nd. May
