The Lukis Room at the museum in Candie Gardens has been set aside until November 2006, to enable local people to display aspects of their own personal collections. This can be in photographic form or, if appropriate, a selection of actual items from your collection.
We have lockable cabinets offering display spaces approx. L
860mm x H 382mm x
D 315mm and wall space for montages of photographs of your collection (mounted
on card or paper) 690mm x 570mm. Display space will be allocated at the
discretion of the Museum, and displays will be changed periodically.What kind of collection will we accept?
Who can apply to display their collection?
- Photographic Display
- You will need to provide a montage of high resolution photographs, mounted on paper or card 690mm x 570mm.The Museum staff will frame your montage and display it on a rota basis on the wall - space permitting. The application form asks you to provide information relating to your collection which will be displayed alongside the montage.
- Object Display
- You can bring items pre-arranged within a container to fit the area provided or alternatively use the display area for your own arrangement – space permitting. You might like to include your own labels and captions to illustrate your display (although this is not compulsory!). The application form asks you to provide information relating to your collection which will be displayed alongside the cabinet.
Final decisions regarding which collections will be displayed, and periods when they will be shown, will be at the discretion of the museum staff involved, who will notify successful applicants.
