Occupied Behind Barbed Wire

During the occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II over 2000 islanders were deported to internment camps in Europe. This exhibition not only tells the story of the deportees but also provides a showcase for the myriad art, craft and domestic items which they made during their time in the camps.

Fascinating items from a wide variety of sources on both Guernsey and Jersey have been brought together.

An informative book accompanies the exhibition.

A World Filled With Dreams

A Portrait of Hauteville House

All the paintings in this exhibition, by the locally based portrait artist Mark Cook, are in-fact fragments of a larger portrait, which is Hauteville House - home of the writer and poet, Victor Hugo from 1855-1870. As we view the portraits of people who care for the house and the detailed studies of Hauteville’s interior, we are taken on a virtual tour, which captures the spirit and romanticism of this special place.
