Destination Amersham

Talk and exhibition viewing

Wednesday 11 March, 6.30pm-8.30pm, talk starts at 7pm

£13 including a glass of wine or soft drink

To tie in with our new temporary exhibition, join local historian Alison Bailey for an illustrated talk that explores the diverse communities that have called Amersham home. From ‘aliens’ required to pay tax in the 15th century, to recent refugees from war-torn countries, Amersham and the surrounding area has a long history in welcoming people from all backgrounds.

Our Destination Amersham exhibition will be open before and after the talk. Enjoy our story tree created by artist Harsha Basu with people from the local community, alongside objects and photographs from the museum’s collection that provide an insight into the many and varied origins of Amersham’s residents.
