Magna Carta- Game of Barons

What links a powerful medieval baron, a Bad King, a Lego castle and two local craftsmen? 

Not sure? Well, it's Trowbridge Museum's 

exhibition on Magna Carta, 

February 28th to July 25th 

2015.

To find out how we go about putting together a major exhibition like this, just follow this blog and witness the trials and torments of an Assistant Curator and her colleagues...

Some of Hector's fantastic pieces will be on display for the duration of the exhibition, as part of the Museum's aim to bring the Magna Carta story to life.

So, how does a museum go about re-creating the feel of the early Thirteenth Century? Watch this space!
