Spanning Black America and the Civil War to George Washington and Marilyn, the innovative new American Heritage permanent exhibition area opens this Easter and aims to ‘put the past into the present’. The ambitious initiative is thanks to half a million pounds from the Heritage Lottery Fund and charitable donations. The forward thinking creative vision has aimed to illustrate the journey of the development of America and its culture from colonial days (over 10 hi-tech, interactive galleries) This new tactile and bright visitor zone adds a new dimension to bring the stories of America to life. Museum Director Sandra Barghini states, “Our mission is to give visitors the bigger picture beyond the limiting Hollywood perspective and want and need to tell the real stories of what actually makes America.” The U.S. Ambassador, the Hon. Robert Tuttle will officially launch the exhibition on April 24th.
Nerys Watts, HLF Manager in the South West adds; 'American culture has an enormous influence on the UK and the Western world. Based in the Grade I listed Claverton Manor, this project provides an excellent opportunity for people to learn about the historic connections between America and Britain over the centuries, and to improve the display the museum's important and fascinating collections. Since 1994 more than 1,560 projects and £323.5 million of our funding have benefited children and young people in the South West.’
Further information on the exhibition can be found on the American Museum in Britain’s website or by calling the museum at 01225 460503.
