Snapshot of county's heritage
Museums across the County are teaming up to put on a joint exhibition to mark Museums and Galleries Month.
The exhibition ‘Making Connections’ is bringing together Herefordshire Council’s Heritage Services, English Heritage, the National Trust and independent museums run entirely by volunteers.
The exhibition runs from Friday, March 17 to Tuesday, April 18 at the Market House Heritage Centre, Ross-on-Wye.
‘Making Connections’ has been organised by the Herefordshire Museums Forum, which is an independent group that enables museums to share information, resources and experiences.
Each partaking museum has its own panel of images, information and history and will give visitors an insight into the County’s fascinating and varied heritage, from the Bronze Age to the Second World War and beyond.
“‘Making Connections’ will give visitors a vivid and comprehensive snapshot of the County’s heritage and allow them to explore the many individual and dedicated heritage sites that Herefordshire has to offer,” said Virginia Mayes-Wright, Herefordshire’s Museum Development Officer and exhibition co-ordinator.
“Each museum will be represented at the exhibition. It’s a great way to allow people to see the breadth and variety of collections that exist in the County and highlight all the different museums and heritage centres we have on our doorstep,” she added.
The Market House Heritage Centre is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10.30am to 4pm during March. From April 1, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm, Sunday 10.30am to 4pm.
