Maritime Museum Lancaster

Come explore our local museum treasures with a jewellery making perspective during a private event designed just for Rachel Hearne Jewellery School students. You will have the chance to view the Hoard of Hoards exhibition then take in a range of hand picked pieces that are not on permanent display with Rachel Roberts (Lancaster Museums Curator) and Rachel Edmonds (Lancaster Museums Learning and Outreach officer)

For the first 40 minutes you will be allowed time to get a feel for the historical context of the building and take in the Hoard of Hoards exhibiton -the museum is all yours! Afterwards you will be taken to view and observe various treasures from the collection that are not on permament display and have been hand selected to explore fabrication techniques, trends and historical events. Rachel Roberts will guide this private viewing and speak about items from within the collection. She will be offering a Q&A along side her talk.

This is a NON PROFIT event your booking price covers the opening of the museum on a closure day and for staff time, planning and expertise. Any proceeds go directly to Lancaster Museum and Maritime Museum helping keep these treasures for future generations.
