WHEN Bexley’s Tudor mansion underwent a £5.5m restoration last year, it freed up new space within the house for the borough’s museum.
Now Hall Place, in Bourne Road, Bexley, is hosting its first museum exhibition in its new surroundings.
Entitled Making A Museum, the exhibition looks at the early history of the borough’s collection with items from the 1920s and 1930s, when the collection was kept at Danson House in Welling.
Exhibits include the wierd and the wonderful, from a stuffed alligator to a 250 million-year-old fossil.
Vicky Nutt, museum officer said: “We are very excited to be opening our first new exhibition.
“It seems only fitting it looks at the history and significance of the collection itself.”
The exhibition runs for the next year but will be refreshed every month with different exhibits
