Lynne Celebrates the Launch of Museum of Childhood

Lynne Celebrates the Results of her Consultancy with The National Trust.

Lynne joined invited guests at the official launch of the new re-furbished Museum of Childhood on Tuesday 3 June 2008. The Opening ceremony was performed by Gethin Jones from BBC’s ‘Blue Peter’.

The National Trust’s Museum of Childhood, at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire, has re-opened after a massive £2.2 million transformation. The museum is now bigger and more spectacular than ever, the museum provides children and adults with the chance to compare and discover childhood experiences from the 19th century to the present day. Lynne was delighted to lead the consultancy in 2007 with various groups across the age ranges to design the display for the ceiling of the Home Gallery, this new display incorporates 'slices' of three bedrooms from different eras, suspended from the ceiling. Lynne and the Museum are delighted with the results. The museum has increased in size by 50% and been transformed into eight new galleries whose themes include outdoor adventure, work, home, school, babies, toys, stories and imagination. The new galleries include interactives for people of all ages. For more information contact: 01283 585305 (Infoline) 01283 585337 Fax: 01283 585139 Email:
