The British Motor Museum has announced two more evening Museum Late events. ‘From
Sketch to Street’ takes place on 11 February and ‘Backstage Tours’ takes place on 11 March.
On 11 February visitors will have the chance to see the Collections Team showcase the
fascinating work they do to keep the Museum running. This exciting opportunity will enable
visitors to immerse themselves in the world of car design, based around the
Museum’s ground-breaking exhibition ‘From Sketch to Street’. This insightful event will
include exclusive after hours access to the Museum and ‘From Sketch to Street’ exhibition
as well as a brand new talk: Ciao Inghilterra! How British cars got Italian style. Visitors will
be able to unpick the processes and people behind the cars and see how their own ideas
meet those of other enthusiasts.
On 11 March visitors will have the rare opportunity to access behind-the-scenes collections
areas through guided tours and supported experiences. The Archive team will be on hand
to take visitors on a specialist tour of the extensive collection of historical documents,
images and films, and enable visitors to learn about how Heritage Certificates are made.
Visitors will also be able to explore the Museum and chat to the Curatorial team in their
extensive artefact stores.
Stephen Laing, Head of Collections & Engagement at the British Motor Museum, said:
“We’re delighted to be hosting these two events. On 11 February, visitors will have the
chance to gain a unique insight into the process of car design, and listen to a fascinating
talk on the evolution of British automotive style and on 11 March visitors will have the rare
and exclusive opportunity to explore the host of treasures within the Archive and artefact
stores, from historical documents to toys of the past. Both Late events are not to be
missed!”
