KYPExplore Launches

Have you ever wondered what makes a place the way it is now? Or wished you could travel back in time and discover how your area has changed over the years?

Working with some 20 content partners – archives, records offices and museums – the HLF and the South Gloucestershire County Council, City-Insights has created a complete set of four touring digital exhibitions exploring the heritage of the West of England.

This exhibition uses our C-I Platform, in combination with the Know Your Place mapping tool, to take the heritage collections of the West of England out of the archives and museums, take them on the road and put them back into the places that inspired and generated them.

We designed and built four Lightbox exhibits with in-built tablets, that will travel to 16 venues over the next six months before finding more permanent homes for the following 3-5 years.

The first four venues have now been installed – The Glass Box, Taunton Library, Bath Central Library, Clifton Suspension Bridge Heritage Centre and STEAM Museum, Swindon – so if you find yourself in the West of England with a bit of time on your hands, maybe you live in one of these places, explore the history of the place you find yourself, you may be surprised at what you learn…
