All day 2024.12.01-2026.05.19 Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.

All day 2024.12.01-2027.02.11 Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey. The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition. Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history. This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders. Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey. - Lithophilia
All day 2024.12.01-2025.01.16 “Lithophilia” is a site-specific sound art installation by award winning Jersey composer Charles Mauleverer. With this artwork, Charles commemorates the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the passage grave at La Hougue Bie with an artistic response to its ancient history. For his sound composition, he worked with local geologists and historians, using all different types of Jersey stones in his recordings. This artwork is commissioned in partnership with Société Jersiaise with the support of the Government of Jersey, Creative Island Partnership. - Christmas Shopping in St Helier
