Conversation Club
This month, usual host Katy England was busy organising our latest temporary exhibition, ‘Fashioning Our World,’ so Owain Hughes took over Conversation Club, leading with a brief but fascinating talk about the Amesbury Archer.
We were able handle artefacts from the era and discuss questions prepared by Katy. Although most of us had seen the Archer in his case in the Wessex Gallery, a more in-depth discussion of his importance as a bringer of new technologies to a Stone Age world was revealing and relatable to the impact of new technologies today.
We went in to the Wessex Gallery and found ourselves looking at the Archer and the objects with new respect and wonder.
Under Fives Friday
Hopefully the last session to be held in the hall at Harnham…. although a very satisfactory venue, everyone is looking forward to be being back in the museum.
This event was a music session hosted by Liv and was as popular as ever with both children and parents.
Hopefully, our regulars and newer participants will all eventually become museum Members – at least one regular renewed at this session. We run through the benefits at each meeting.
The May meeting will be run by regular Volunteers Mary and Sally, introducing the new Natural History Gallery…back in the museum!
