Project Taking Shape

Having spent some time looking at the collections and archive material at Bexhill and Hastings Museum and discussing various aspects of migration, the project team discussed how they might develop the found heritage into exhibition displays at the three partner venues.

It agreed by the participants that the subject of migration could be told in three sub topics in each place and so the working groups were formed:

·      Migration of Design

·      Migration for Work

·      Migration for Safety

Studio Space

The project studio space is being established at Bexhill Museum. Here; research will be made, concepts formed, ideas discussed and explorations made  -  Ahead of delivering three innovative heritage exhibitions.
