Would you like to share your story with your local museum?
Time and Tide museum was developed in consultation with local people to present their stories and ensure the community was at the heart of its displays. The diversity and richness of our community is forever growing and has developed significantly since the museum was first opened.
We are looking for individuals, families and community groups who would like to share the story of their journeys to and lives in Great Yarmouth to form the core of the exhibition. We would like people to lend us something that is important to the story of their journey to display and share with others. We’d also like to interview as many people as possible to give them the opportunity to tell us why and how they came here and to present this an oral history. It would be wonderful to have photographs as well to add to the variety and colour of the exhibition. We plan to show all the contributions in our exhibition galleries alongside museum objects from our World Cultures collections. The exhibition will open at the end of March 2012 and run until the end of September.
If you or someone you know is interested in getting involved, please contact:
