Saturday 10th October
Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.
Come and ‘Meet the Collections’ and see some of the fascinating items in our collections that are not usually on display at one of our sites.
With a different theme each month, our collections team will be selecting some of their favourite objects to show you and will be on hand to tell you about these objects, where they came from and what they can tell us about our Island’s history.
Free sessions take place between 9.30am and 1pm. No need to book in advance. Here are the upcoming themes.
