The Newhaven Heritage Museum was a museum located in the village of Newhaven, within the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The museum detailed the history of the village, from its inception as a naval shipyard in the early 16th Century through the economic booms of the oyster and herring trades. The museum closed in February 2007 for work on the building but there are no plans for its reopening.
Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or museum:
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
