Cultural Facilities Fund Supports Renovations at Gloucester Museum
February 20, 2014
MassDevelopment and the Massachusetts Cultural Council have provided a $250,000 Cultural Facilities Fund grant to the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester. Founded in 1873, the Museum’s rich collections represent the history of the region: its people, its industries, and especially its arts and culture. The Museum’s facilities include 13 galleries, a library and historical archives, an auditorium, children’s activity center, sculpture gardens and historic homes. The Museum is using grant funds to replace an aging HVAC system, to install fire prevention systems, and to upgrade its lighting.
