strategic planning for cultural heritage - communicating stories to visitors - from concept to installation
This has been a joy for us to be involved in - having advised the team on funding strategies and the NLHF application, it was wonderful to then accompany them on the project’s journey and be a part of the transformation. New interpretive signage throughout the village, a great new object display in the church and a walking trail pamphlet to guide visitors to and around the area.
Magna Carta Rediscovered opened in Faversham on 23rd May.
The exhibition, centred around Faversham's own 1300 issue of Magna Carta, tells the story of Magna Carta and its legacy. Visitors have the opportunity to view the original manuscript, which is rarely on display, and delve deeper into its content via digital interactivity.
Jakaranda Tree developed the interpretative concepts, exhibition narrative and content. The exhibition was designed and built by ETT Solutions.
With the opening of Magna Carta Rediscovered only one month away, Index Magazine has written a feature on the project...

Just in time to coincide with the summer excavation season, the Lyminge exhibition arrives in Maidstone Museum. On display are some of last season's most interesting finds, including a gaming piece from a board game similar to backgammon or draughts.
A summer of archaeological activity is planned both at the Museum and at the dig… see the Lyminge website for more information.
The BBC have covered the opening of our Lyminge exhibition in Dover Museum...
"An exhibition about the excavation of an Anglo-Saxon monastic site under Tayne Field in the heart of Lyminge, Kent, has opened to the public at Dover Museum, where it will be for the next two months. "
Christian News has covered the forthcoming opening of the Museum of Methodism in Wesley's Chapel, London.
Jakaranda Tree worked with Barker Langham to produce the exhibition. We were responsible for the narrative concept, content development and managing the exhibition design process.
Jakaranda Tree's exhibition on the Lyminge archaeological project has opened at Canterbury Heritage Museum. The exhibition, created for Reading University, will continue to tour until the end of the excavation in October 2014.
Other venues include: Reculver Visitor Centre, Folkestone Library, Dover Museum, Rochester Cathedral & Maidstone Museum.
Jakaranda Tree's exhibition, 'And thereby hangs a tale', begins its tour today. Produced for the Churches Conservation Trust, the exhibition is part of a larger HLF funded project to raise the profile of All Saints Church, Billesley, one of the redundant churches in their care.
The exhibition explores primary evidence, looking for clues as to where Shakespeare was married.
In addition to the exhibition, Jakaranda Tree are creating new interpretation boards at All Saints Church, an education pack to assist schools in visiting the church and a walking trail pamphlet exploring sites of interest in the area.
