SALE OF ANTIQUE and VINTAGE ITEMS

Hornsea Museum operates a transparent disposal policy in line with the Museums Association guidelines in their ethical disposal toolkit. This allows us to dispose of items from the collection or recently donated items (with permission of the Hornsea Museum Board) which are duplicated, in poor condition, outside our Collecting Policy (North Holderness) or lacking provenance (its past use and origin).
Once permission has been granted by the Board, these unwanted items will be offered free to local public institutions and, if there are no takers, these items will then be sold and any money made will only be used on the care of the collection
