Herefordshire Council has approved proposals for an £18.4m redevelopment of Hereford Museum and Art Gallery, adding a new floor and creating six new galleries.

The plans also include adding temporary exhibition spaces, retail space and a rooftop cafe to the Grade II-listed building and restoring its historic Woolhope club room.

The building will also be more accessible and energy efficient.

The local authority said the upgrade would transform the building into a "world-class" venue with an "exciting interactive experience" for visitors.
