She explained that, “The museum has a large collection, which only a small percentage can be on show at any one time.

“The open day is an opportunity for the museum to explore with the wider community ways in which they might share more of the collection, both in the museum and online.”

The day will be one of activities and conversations about the museum objects, archives and stories.

The day has been developed by Culture Shift working closely with staff at the Museum.
