SUMMARY:Local Wartime Stories Told At The Beacon Museum
DESCRIPTION:Wartime experiences of local people will be brought to life at an upcoming exhibition to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. \nThe Beacon Museum\, Whitehaven\, will host A Brave New World: the Armistice and Beyond to tell the diverse stories of individuals’ and families’ accounts of war – both familiar and surprising – that profoundly changed the west of Cumbria. \nThe personal letters\, diaries and artefacts that will be on display show the love\, excitement\, fear\, bravery\, humour\, grief\, loss and longing that touched the lives of thousands throughout the area. \nThe Beacon Museum’s Alan Gillon said: “This exhibition is about our community and our past\, and it is indeed a time to honour our lost heroes. \n“The exhibition also highlights what came next for those returning from the war\, as people coming home were met with uncertainty and often hardship.” \n \nContent for the displays was created by the museum in close collaboration with Whitehaven Archive and Local Studies Centre\, and the Friends of the Museum member Joseph Ritson. \nThe exhibition runs from October 6 to November 11 and is accompanied by a community project where a number of schools will learn about their local war memorials and create over 1\,000 poppies from recycled material that will go on display over the Remembrance period. \nMembers of the public will also have the opportunity to create their own poppies at the Beacon Museum during the October half-term.
