Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
No matter what the terms of the will were, art isn't definitive.
If Tracey Emin's crusty, unmade bed is 'art', then anything can be. Duchamp exhibited a urinal as art in 1917. Create a musuem exhibition up at the Haworth, call it sculpture, and voila! Art.

Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
I do believe that the old Commercial Hotel in Accy would make an excellent museum & gallery, given it's central location. I'm reliably informed that the building is currently being used as a licenced greasy spoon cafe, so it would be no great loss in that role.

Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
Digressing slightly, but am off shortly to Manc Museum. I have just checked, on line, re the opening hours, and found this interesting page. If you look at DOWNLOADS, Acquisitions, it just shows how interested folk still are in Museums - when we get ours in Accrington, these are the type of items folk MAY donate.

Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
sad to say when I ask where I could buy some Accrington Pals stuff,I was told in the town hall "we don't sell that kind of stuff here" neither could they send me anywhere that would.

Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
It comes as a surprise to me that the Tourism Office in the Town Hall doesn't sell Pals stuff. I wonder if USAngel has spoken with the right people. Haworth Art Gallery? The Library? Has Ann Parkin finally closed her shop at the bottom of Burnley Rd?
