Our Object this week is a seed filler, probably in use at the seed factory in Llangollen. It was used to fill the seed packets that go on sale to the public.
School Visit
We had a great visit today from Year 3 children at Ysgol Cefn Mawr, who came to see the Museum, most of them for the first time. They took part in a treasure-hunt to find some of the objects in the Museum’s collection, and were fascinated by much of what they saw there. They left, promising to bring their parents and grandparents with them next time!
Object of the Week, 1 April
Our Objects this week are an addition to our special exhibition on Royal Memorabilia. The heraldic animals in the display case are known as the ‘Queen’s Beasts’, and are symbolically linked, through heraldry, with the history of the British Monarchy. To look at them closely, just come into the Museum any time before the end of April when the exhibition closes.
