Past Projects
Colchester + Ipswich Museums have been involved in several projects including the Castle Redevelopment Project and the Aspire: Year of Constable project.
Brief descriptions of these projects and links to further information regarding them are show below.
Colchester Castle Redevelopment
Colchester Castle reopened on 2 May 2014 after a substantial redevelopment programme. Many improvements and developments were made, creating a high-quality, exciting and fit-for-purpose visitor attraction.
Aspire: The Year of Constable
One of the greatest masterpieces of British art, John Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831, was on display at Ipswich’s Christchurch Mansion until the end of January 2016, as part of a UK-wide tour of galleries and museums.
Transforming People to Transform Museums: Nurturing a Culture of Change
This event was a national conference exploring how heritage and arts organisations are reacting to new challenges through radical approaches in partnership working, workforce development and the use of museum and gallery spaces.
