Default LT Acton Museum

Hi, a friend of mine is certain that the Acton museum is open this Saturday,
17th May, but I can't seem to find anything about it; not even on the LT
museum web-site.
Does anyone know ?

It was open on 8th and 9th March. As far as I know, the next open days
are in November.

I believe they do some pivate openings. Could it be one of those?

I went to one of those -- you have to book and pay, and numbers are kept
to a low limit. I found it much more interesting than the public open
days, as the volunteer guides can show things not open to the public,
such as the original artwork for some of LT's iconic posters. You also
escape crowds of kids and bored family members.

Can't find anything either, but I did find in an online guide, still
findable in Google after five years

"Special joint event with Kew Bridge Steam Museum on the Sunday
Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2003"

Thanks to all who replied. Yes, I suspect he looked at the 2003 entry and
didn't notice the year.
