The £14.8 million Assizes for Devizes project will transform the derelict Assize Court building into a spectacular new home for the Museum after being derelict for decades. Engaging visitors since 1873, Wiltshire Museum is home to nationally important Designated collections including stunning treasures from the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site landscape.
