SUMMARY:A Golden Age of Summer - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A Golden Age of Summer \nA temporary exhibition at Ely Museum from 26 July – 14 September 2025 \nYou are invited to a summer of relaxation and play at Ely Museum! \nInspired by the long\, lazy\, summer days of the Edwardian period\, our summer exhibition encourages you to linger and lounge: play at a picnic\, sit with a book or take a selfie in our boat on the river. Throughout the summer we’ll have games and activities in the museum and courtyard as well as immersive play in the temporary exhibition itself. \nThe Edwardian period in the popular imagination is a time of sunshine and day trips and garden parties\, sandwiched between the strict morals of the Victorian Age and the devastation of the First World War. Building on this rose-tinted dream of the past and drawing from photographs in the museum collection\, we’ve created an immersive space to come and recreate the relaxation of a golden summer at the start of the twentieth century. \nWe are delighted that our summer exhibition features artwork by Laura Pearson-Clark of Art in the Burrow. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Back to Nature - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Back to Nature\nA temporary exhibition at Ely Museum from 20 July – 30 November 2024 \nEly Museum have been working on their latest exhibition\, Back to Nature ready for the summer. With input from the Ely Nature Friendly Farmers and conservation organisations such as the RSPB and the National Trust at Wicken Fen\, the exhibition champions the environmental initiatives that are taking place across our fenland landscape. \nThe Fens are a truly unique and support an incredible range of wildlife including specialist species that are found nowhere else in the UK. A landscape that has changed dramatically from wetlands to a drained fenland creating farms to provide food for us. As technologies changed and farms have become increasingly reliant on chemical inputs on large scales\, biodiversity has continued to decline. But here in a pocket of the Fens are the Nature Friendly Farmers of Ely\, using innovative techniques to support traditional values in going back to nature. \nFrom marvellous minibeasts to fruitful flowers. The exhibition includes several activities for children and family visitors including a roleplay vegetable patch and a craft table to make your own butterfly to add to the museum display.
