New Museum of East Dorset exhibition focuses on community impact
A new exhibition at the Museum of East Dorset showcases the Wimborne museum’s positive community impact.

A museum in Wimborne has unveiled its latest exhibition: ‘Connecting Communities: The Museum in Action,’ celebrating the many ways it engages, supports and inspires.
The exhibition highlights how the Museum of East Dorset connects people of all ages, abilities and from all walks of life through history and culture from hands-on workshops and volunteer-led initiatives to school partnerships and outreach programmes.
Visitors will gain insight into the museum’s collaborative work with schools, care homes and local groups, showcasing the power of heritage in bringing communities together.
Museum of East Dorset trustee and volunteer Vanessa Joseph explained: “We hope these behind-the-scenes perspectives will show the museum’s role as more than just a place for interesting and interactive exhibitions. We want to showcase to the public how it’s also a dynamic hub which connects people and communities in East Dorset.”
This special exhibition runs until the end of September in the Temporary Exhibitions gallery. Children up to age of four years are eligible for free admission. Children five to 16 years £5.50 and adults £12 each. Family admission tickets are also available. With one admission price, you get 12 month’s free entry to Wimborne’s award-winning museum.
