To complement the exhibition on the

Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery is pleased to invite selected local
enthusiasts to share their present day collections with other museum
visitors.
The Lukis Room at the museum in Candie Gardens has been set aside until

personal collections. This can be in photographic form or, if appropriate, a
