Step back in time

Step into another era in our You Are There exhibition series. Historic photographs are brought to life three-dimensionally, right down to the actors playing the people in – and around – the images. Become part of the story and see, hear and touch history because … You Are There.

Thanks to Deering Cleaners for generously taking excellent care of our costumes.
