Future of Wall Hangings

The Millennium Wall Hangings have been on temporary display at the High Street Museum, as most of you will know. That display is about to come to an end because the Museum will be setting up its delayed exhibition of Ipswich at War. Commissioned by and owned by the Ipswich Arts Association, Isabel Clover's wall hangings depicting the history and townscape of Ipswich have been greatly admired wherever they've been seen.

Clearly they deserve a permanent home in Ipswich, open to the public. In the interim they may be displayed at the Manor House Museum in Bury St Edmunds in June-October and perhaps in Arras from November, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of cultural exchanges between our two towns.
