| Happy New Year card from the museums' collections 1950-1970 |
We hope that 2014 will be a happy and healthy year for you. As for Wakefield Museums, we are going to be very busy. Here is a taster of what we'll be up to. We hope you can join us....
At Castleford Forum Museum we will be welcoming lots of visitors to this fantastic new venue and exploring ways of working with the local community to develop our displays and tell the stories of the area.
2014 marks 100 years since the start of the First World War. We have a programme of events and activities planned to commemorate this including:
- Tweeting entries from a 1918 diary in the collections (follow on Twitter @WW1_Diary)
World War 1 Diary entry blog.
- The Great War Inspires exhibition at Pontefract Museum from 25 January
The Great War Inspires blog
- A Great War trail at Wakefield Museum from July 2014
Special exhibitions & displays next year will include costume, bikes & boats. Events will be hosted for families throughout the school holidays; as part of the Wakefield Art Walk & to support national campaigns such as Museums at Night.
Our You Are What You Ate Travelling pod will continue to tour around the district's libraries.
Whatever we do next year we'll keep you informed on this blog. Thank you for reading throughout 2013 and hope you continue to enjoy our offer next year.
