Structural Stories: The history of six North Herts buildings

Until August 6

Across the last 18 months, our Museum and Town Hall's Digital Apprentice has searched our photographic archives for a social media series highlighting some of her favourite local buildings. Reaching the Museum's followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the series generated much interest and lots of sharing of memories.

This exhibition celebrates the history of our local area and brings some highlights of Ellen's social media campaign back into the physical museum, helping to reach those visitors who are not active online or who missed the campaign the first time around.

This exhibition has been curated by Ellen Munson and is located in The Arches, part of the Terrace Gallery.
