It is with great sadness that we have decided to temporarily close the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum from Thursday 19th March until further notice due to the rapidly increasing spread of COVID-19. The safety and well-being of our visitors, staff and volunteers has always been our number one priority. We hope that you understand our decision as it is not one which we have taken lightly.
We will update our website and social media profiles when we have any news or information about re-opening. In the meantime, our online catalogue is a wonderful way to view a lot of items in our collection.
For any enquiries, please email us at sjmuseum@lichfield.gov.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
