The exhibit is now open and will be on display until Autumn 2024. \nThe exhibition highlights how textiles have been instrumental in self-expression throughout milestones in a person or communities’ life. Visitors will be taken on a journey which allows them to consider themes of education\, family-life\, disability\, and celebration\, and how these are expressed through textiles. \nThe exhibition features the Master’s Wives’ Quilt\, a quilt lovingly sewn square-by-square by over 200 women and girls including 13 wives of Cambridge College Masters in 1892 as a wedding gift for a royal prince\, a grandson of Queen Victoria. The needlework samplers on display are stitched by local Cambridge schools by girls as young as 11 years old\, and there are several embroideries created by recovering out-of-action soldiers at the First Eastern General Hospital in World War I. This exhibit will allow the opportunity to see a beautiful selection of textiles amongst those mentioned which tell a plethora of local tales exploring education\, disability\, and celebrations. \nDue to the nature of our 16th-century old building\, the Museum of Cambridge is not wheelchair accessible. However\, there will be a curator talk on this exhibit\, “Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability\, and injury” (Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability and injury Tickets\, Thu\, May 2\, 2024 at 1:00 PM | Eventbrite) that will be held in our hireable space\, which has level access\, and there is an accessible bathroom on site.

The Attic has received extensive restoration by our landlords\, Cambridge City Council\, to repair damage caused by rot and woodworm. This repair involved completely reconstructing the attic dormer and installing new oak timbers and plaster walls using specialised heritage techniques. \nMini Museums Exhibition\nIn January 2023\, we launched the Mini Museums programme in Cambridgeshire\, inviting residents to design their very own Mini Museum. Our goal was to discover what was important to the people of the region and what cherished memories or objects they would want to represent in their very own miniature museum. \nThe response we received was astounding. Almost 3000 people participated in the programme in just two months\, creating Mini Museums at home\, attending workshops\, and engaging with us at our pop-up stalls. Demand was so high that we ran further workshops throughout the summer of 2023\, engaging even more communities in the programme. \nThe Mini Museums created by the residents of Cambridgeshire are truly remarkable\, showcasing the creativity and passion of our community –and this new exhibition celebrates just that. The Mini Museums on display depict everyday activities that hold deep meaning to local residents\, such as punting on the River Cam\, swimming in the Lido\, exploring the Fens\, visiting museums\, enjoying Sunday lunches in the pub\, and playing footie in the park. \nYou can find out more about the project here. \nDo book your ticket via Eventbrite. Admission is £5.50 and all proceeds go towards supporting the word of the Museum in caring for and sharing the local histories of Cambridge and the surrounds. \nIf you need help booking\, please email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk or call us at 01223 355159. We look forward to seeing you there! \nAccessibility \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.

It is generally a time to spend indoors cooking and sharing food\, making crafts and playing games\, and thinking about the year gone by and the one right ahead while it freezes outside. And this is exactly what we wanted to capture with this exhibition. \nWhat’s especial about this exhibition? I hear you ask. Not to give away too much before you experience it yourself\, but there’s so much to look forward to when you visit: \n\nWe are exhibiting more than 10 objects not seen in our permanent displays in years\, such as vintage toys and seasonal cards\, as well as some quirky old decorations.\nWithin the exhibition there are 4 instances in which you can participate and add your contribution to the current displays by writing\, drawing\, and taking fun pictures. Oh and did we say there’s a prize to be won?\nThis exhibition includes some of the voices of people just like you that have shared their stories of celebration for everyone to enjoy.\n\nCome on then\, put on some warm clothes and come to the museum to share the festive spirit with us. \n\nWe visited Cambridge Central Mosque to record a story of celebration of Eid \n \nWe attended a parent group in Arbury\, getting creative and festive whilst we listened to how families celebrate. \n*Please check opening times on our website before visiting us.

The museum worked closely with volunteers and other members of the local community to examine the Tobacconist Sign: a conflictive object that was not appropriately interpreted to tell the full story behind it. \nIn this talk Florencia Nannetti\, Community and Visitor Engagement Officer at the museum\, and Kirsten Huffer\, one of the volunteers who is a recent MPhil in Heritage Studies graduate from the Cambridge University Department of Archaeology\, will share their experience of carrying out a project like this\, what the challenges and the results were\, and what it means in a local and global context. This will be followed by a brief Q&A session for attendees to ask their queries. \nThis talk is suitable for anyone who wants to learn more about community work in their local museum\, and colonial legacies of the everyday. \nBook your tickets here URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/restorying-our-museum-exploring-the-museum-of-cambridges-colonial-legacy/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ReStorying-logo3038.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
