Whitby Museum - Bringing the world to Whitby
Carved wooden bird from New Ireland.Bringing the World to Whitby looks at the history and the heritage of selected objects in Whitby Museum. Objects were brought from cultures on the other side of the world at a time when few people had opportunities to travel with a specific focus on the Pacific Oceania and the Americas. The new redisplayed gallery space enables the museum to display a wider range of objects and allows better access to the visitor viewing them. Volunteers play a key part in the display and care as well as gaining a greater understanding of the importance of the collections.
