A new exhibition has opened at Dover Museum showing the rich diversity of our culture and charting thousands of years of social history in the area.
The exhibition features fascinating artefacts, eye-catching artwork and life-size room settings, which help to bring the area's incredible history to life, and looks at the range of new cultures, skills, knowledge, language, religion and trade that have been brought to the area. It includes a range of historical detail and displays spanning thousands of years, from the first settlers after the creation of the English Channel around 425,000 years ago and the Roman and Saxon invasions, to the Huguenot and Jewish refugees fleeing persecution on the Continent, and British migrants searching for work in the Kent coal mines.
The exhibition can be seen at Dover Museum until 3 September. For more information, call Dover Museum on 01304 201066.
