On Saturday 1st February 2020 we will be showing an audio-visual exhibition of musings and memoir relating to local women over the past 200 years.
Throughout the day, the slideshow of photographs accompanied by the words of these remarkable women will be shown at the museum, with refreshments available in our coffee shop.
Drop in anytime between 10.30 and 4.30 to view the slideshow free of charge.
This event forms part of the Women of West Wales project and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
On Saturday 10th November we will be holding a FREE open day to commemorate the centenary of the end of WWI.
There will be an opportunity to re-visit the exhibition of local soldiers and view an updated archive of their experiences. Sandra Benham-Pellowe will be on hand to share and discuss her extensive research, with particular emphasis on individual accounts and research techniques.
With access to letters, photographs and first-hand witness accounts of historic events, it promises to be a poignant reminder of the lessons to be learned from the lives lost and the voices of those who survived.
Refreshments will also be availble throughout the day.
On Saturday 14th July a new exhibition opens at the museum.
Filtered Females, an iphone photography exhibition by pupils fromYsgol Greenhill School, takes a fresh look at the museum archive through the eyes of a new generation. Using everyday technology and a series of photo editing apps, the group have created and curated a series of images that re-examine the lives of local women.
Alongside the photographs, there will be an opportunity to view the first phase of the ‘Narberth Museum Community Quilt’ in celebration of female heritage. This is a ‘work in progress’ that can and will be added to as the project progresses.
Both aspects of this exhibition form part of the continuing Women of West Wales (WOWW) project with support from Arwain Sir Benfro. Access to the exhibition is included with entry to the museum.
To commemorate the Royal Air Force centenary on April 1st, we will be displaying a collection of scrapbooks, letters and artefacts relating to the history of the RAF.
Highlights include John Tipton DFC, LLB’s uniform from WWII where he reached the rank of Wing Commander and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar.
Entry to the exhibition is included in the usual admission charge.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
From 1st October 2017, our new temporary exhibition will be ‘Narberth in Bloomers: A History of Underwear.’
This exhibition will be informative yet lighthearted, with a look back at advertising and how it reflects changing attitudes through the years. There will also be a range of weird and wonderful garments on display.
Entry to the exhibition is included in the usual museum admission price
