York Museums Trust tonight (Tuesday, September 26) confirmed that the north side of York Castle Museum, which houses Kirkgate, the Period Rooms and Shaping the Body has RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) in the roofing.
In line with government guidelines the building will remain closed until the necessary specialist inspections have been completed, the trust said.
The rest of York Castle Museum, including the Prison Cells, the Sixties Gallery and the First World War Gallery will remain open.
