More than 200 people gathered in Buxton in Derbyshire on Saturday (8 June) to mark a year since a museum closed in the town.
Buxton Museum was closed at short notice in June last year when dry rot was found in the building, with no timeframe given for how long remedial work would take.
The BBC reports that Derbyshire County Council has said it is looking for a new permanent venue for the museum and somewhere in the short-term for exhibits to be displayed.
A council spokesperson said: “We fully appreciate that the museum and art gallery in Buxton is held in very high regard by residents, businesses and visitors to the area.
"That passion was clearly displayed at the gathering outside the museum this weekend.
"As a council, we share that passion and are continuing to explore every avenue to secure a long-term solution."
