Ideas for Christmas

 It will not be long before the traditional exchanges of cards and presents at Christmas are again occupying our minds.  Why not do your shopping at the Museum this year?  A special Christmas item is our attractive calendar, Old postcards from the Museum Collection. The calendars are available in two formats - a diary format and the traditional grid.  A delightful small gift and excellent value at only £3.75.  The two formats of the calendar are shown below, together with various Christmas cards, some new and some old favourites. You will see below a selection of the cards, which are 30p each.  Please click on the appropriate card to see a larger image.
