Following a major extension, Preston Park Museum and Grounds will reopen with Tracks of Change, a series of exhibitions exploring the impact and legacy of the Stockton & Darlington Railway.
– Gateway to the World – A collection of nationally significant paintings will go on display together for the first time. The exhibition will highlight the important role that the birth of the railway played in creating tourism through day trips and travel opportunities for all, regardless of class.
– Perfume by Yann Nguema – A digital and sensory installation inspired by the seed distribution and pollination that occurs when trains travel through the countryside.
– Corridors by Rebecca Louise Law – Delicately suspended from the ceiling, hundreds of locally grown flowers create a beautiful display celebrating the vital role that railways play in connecting habitats across our countryside. This one-of-a-kind floral garden that appears to hover in mid-air, will be built by the artist and community groups.
– All Aboard – A new interactive exhibition specially created for children. Little engineers will be able to get hands on with wheels to turn, coal to shovel and pistons to pump in a giant replica train and themed play zones.
This event forms part of the wider S&DR200 Railway Celebrations, for more events see here
