Seeking out stories and re-mixing the Museum's collection – the National Maritime Museum’s Youth Advisory Group are taking over the Compass Lounge.
In response to the opening of the Museum’s new Traders gallery the group have curated a display featuring contemporary photography and Museum collections to explore the impact of trade between Britain and India on ordinary people’s lives.
Quite literally putting themselves in the picture, they have worked with photographer Maisie Maud Broadhead to re-imagine the hidden histories buried in the Museum’s archives, of India's people. Come join us for the grand opening on 25 February as part of the Traders Unpacked series of events.
