Exhibition
Warrington & Vale Royal College: From the Collections
FREE
DATES
Sat 01 Feb 2025 - Sun 30 Mar 2025

Art and Design students from Warrington & Vale Royal College have created a collection of individual artworks, each inspired by a specific object from the museum and archives. The starting point for the project was a tour of the museum and archives for the students, after which they were tasked with selecting a real object to research, without resorting to online resources such as Google or Pinterest.
The students have been inspired by a diverse range of items, including an 1842 report on child labour in pin factories; the Benin Bronzes, a Reticulated Python skeleton, a poster advertising Mr Usher’s cat circus, and the museum’s crystal collection.
