Creating the Langdon Down Museum of Learning Disability

Cost:  Free

No need to pre-book

This talk explains how we developed the museum.  In six years we have developed the archive, obtained artifacts, joined museum organisations, created new displays and successfully obtained grants.   We have completed three U3A research projects and will start a fourth this year.   The museum now receives about 40 group visits a year and promotes it’s work through social media.  Our team of four dedicated volunteers work on projects and greet visitors on open days.
