Recently we were very pleased to unveil our new mural which was funded through the Small Open Grant from Museum Development South West, with support from Arts Council England. The mural is a continuation of our ‘retold’ project, which encourages our younger audience to help us tell history in a way that inspired them. It was a collaborative work designed to engage younger audiences and reimagine the town’s heritage in a modern, imaginative way. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed their ideas and of course to Natasha Sweeting, Gus Scott & Tom Sturgess for bringing it to life

We encourage everyone to visit the upper gallery to see this brilliant new addition to the museum. We are incredibly proud of this project—it’s a fantastic example of how public funds can be used to combine heritage education with exciting new artistic creation.
