Summer Landscapes

Friday 9th July - Sat 5th September 2010
The Summer Landscapes exhibition has been completed by Rutland Brownies, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts with the help of local artist Tessa Angell to help celebrate the Girl Guiding Centenary year celebrations.

Three local Girl Guiding and Scout groups took part in the art sessions with Tessa; Whissendine Cubs & Scouts, North Luffenham Beavers & Cubs and Oakham Brownies.

Each group completed a different form of art work for the exhibition. Whissendine used Modroc and chicken wire to create 3D pictures, North Luffenham used parcel tape to create real life sculptures and Oakham used collage to create abstract summer pictures.

This exhibition has been kindly sponsored NADFAS (National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies) and The Friends of Rutland County Museum and Oakham Castle.

'Kir-ching!' : Shops & Shopping in Rutland

Friday 17th September – Sat 20th November 2010

A nostalgic look at how shops and shopping habits have changed over the years, from the village store to the advent of the supermarket. The exhibition features many familiar local names and includes archive photographs, advertising memorabilia, bills and receipts, old packaging and shop equipment.

We're not so dusty, check out our programme of live music, theatre and comedy at Live@TheMuseum or our series of talks, lectures and other events at Rutland County Museum and Oakham Castlle.
