At all five museums
This Year all 5 museums participated in the Big Draw. All of these Big Draw events looked at aspects that connect the 5 museums, through architecture or the buildings’ surroundings.
The Bowes: Changing Places, a Big Draw event aimed at families, ran on the 11th October. The workshops and events were created in partnership with a local architecture firm and a local higher education college.
Compton Verney: Changing Places saw families being encouraged to learn about elements, components and structure and contribute to a huge joint architectural plan.
The Holburne Museum of Art: Bigging Up the Gardens took place on the 18th October and followed the architecture theme by working with a local architects firm to encourage people to think about their surroundings.
Waddesdon Manor: Amazing Architecture. Families added to a giant collage of Waddesdon Manor and also came up with innovate new interpretations of the house.
The Wallace Collection: Building Big saw families compare 19th century floor plans of the Wallace Collection with the current on-going refurbishments. Taking ideas from the plans and renovations, the families then created new designs for their own homes and the Wallace Collection.
