Information About the Arthur Ransome Trust Project: Voyages of Discovery.
This page contains introductory information about Voyages of Discovery, mobile Arthur Ransome Trust exhibitions and displays.
.
Voyages of Discovery is a rolling programme of small-scale mobile and temporary displays, designed to introduce Arthur Ransome’s life and works. Voyages of Discovery may take place throughout the UK.
We are working to create display materials that can be used by libraries, museums, schools, sailing clubs, youth groups and other organisations: in short in any location and by anybody who wants to help people discover Arthur Ransome’s life and works. When complete, we envisage that the materials will range from one or more A3 sized posters suitable for notice boards, up to a co-ordinated mobile exhibition.
We envisage that some displays may be mounted by organisations. Others may be led by individuals who want to support the Trust and can work locally with suitable organisations. Some may be “stand alone”; others may involve more input by the Trust, working in partnership with the hosting organisation.
Latest Developments
Voyages of Discovery will be on tour with the Swallows and Amazons Musical from January 17, 2012 to May 19, 2012. This follows our first Voyage at the Bristol Old Vic in 2010 – 2011.
(update 15 December, 2011).
