It’s Time for Blast Off!

We are delighted to reveal that Littlehampton Museum has been awarded a National Lottery ‘Unlocking Collections’ grant to fund a brand-new community project, putting YOU at the heart of the Museum Service.  

This exciting new phase in the Museum’s life, to be known as ‘Project Time Machine’, consists of two parts, read on for more details…

The project blasted off with an online survey asking YOU what you wanted from YOUR museum.

We wanted to hear the views of as many people as possible, both visitors and non-visitors, to learn how the Museum’s collections could be used to engage and represent the whole community.  The deadline to submit surveys has now passed and our consultant is writing the final report detailing the findings.

 We will share these with you soon!

From October 2024, the second part of Project Time Machine will involve volunteers working in the gallery, cataloguing and researching the social history collections, capturing rich new context and hopefully uncovering some currently “hidden” histories.

If you would like to get involved with this stage, please contact us for an informal chat about available opportunities: 01903 738100 or museum@littlehampton-tc.gov.uk 

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participates in this important new project, we cant wait to see where the Time Machine takes us!
