FINAL WEEK

Children's Art

To May 7

 

This is an exhibition of the work of children from nine local primary schools who entered a competition organised by The Rotary Club of Nantwich. 

    The paintings were judged by Estella Scholes, a local artist, and members of the Rotary club.

   Estella commented: "The colourful work ranged from highly individual pieces to fascinating examples from class projects. It was difficult to select the winners from this visual feast." The standard of the artwork was regarded as generally high and, in some instances, quite exceptional.


Roman coins on show

THERE is a temporary exhibition of Roman coins on display in the main gallery of the Museum. They were discovered by Reg Baker, a keen metal detectorist, who kindly donated his share of the money he was due for the find so that the Museum could purchase it at half price.  Read more here.
