About
It’s been 25 years since the library, art gallery and museum building opened its doors, and the new museum began collecting objects in earnest. In this display we look back at a quarter of a century of collecting Rugby and the previous attempts for a museum dating back to the opening of the first public library in the 1890s.This exhibition features:
- some of the objects collected by library staff over the years before a formal collecting of social history started.
- drawings for the original archaeology gallery, featuring the collection of Tripontium artefacts, and social history space as they were when the building opened in 2000.
- objects from the past 25 years under the main collecting themes of working life, community life, domestic life, personal life.
