Behind The Streets: The Hidden Work of Museum Conservation Volunteers
6 October - 20 June
Abbey House Museum
Included in Admission
What happens behind the scenes to help preserve the museum collections we all love? Join us for this exhibition which focuses on the work of The Abbey House Conservation Volunteers helping us maintain the thousands of objects on display on our Victorian Street.
We highlight some of the items they have cleaned alongside our Conservator, and we celebrate the difference they are making to the museum experience for all visitors.
Read why volunteers have selected these objects as their favourites, and hear about what they love about their role. Can you spot matching objects on the museum street?
Subject to opening hours.
Be transported back to the 19th century and stroll the Victorian streets with the authentically recreated shops, pub and houses at Abbey House Museum.
