Exhibition: Motherhood
13th February 2016 - 5th June 2016
This exhibition explores the role of ‘motherhood’ between 1860 and 1960.
Recognising that the role is not always fulfilled by the biological mother, the exhibition examines the themes of baby and child-care, home-making and ‘time out’.
Through objects, costumes and ephemera, the exhibition considers the roles of ‘motherhood’, labour-saving equipment, and the implications of social developments during a century of enormous change.
The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday.
Also on Monday from 10am to 5pm on school holidays and Bank Holidays (except December).
Entrance to this special temporary exhibition is free.
There is a small charge when visiting the other galleries at the Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse.
