Handling Collection at the Museum
Did you know that the Museum has a collection that can be borrowed by schools and other groups like Brownies?
The Handling Collection at the Museum covers many topics suitable for schools such as Home Front and Childhood. A handling box can be tailored to suit the topic of choice – just choose the items you would like to borrow from the catalogue.
It is also ideal for reminiscence sessions. Royal events, 1960s and WW2 are just some of the topics covered.
The collection is made up of real Museum items and replicas. Each one has been carefully selected and helps to tell the story of Rustington.
For a copy of the catalogue or for more information on how Rustington Museum can help your school or group, please contact the Museum.
“A lovely local museum – I discovered lots of things that I didn’t know about the village”
We have a small, but growing, team of dedicated volunteers.
Our volunteers assist the museum staff with researching, cataloguing, stewarding, interviewing people as part of Rustington Remembers, and much more.
The volunteers are an invaluable to running the museum and making it a success.
