Hastings Museum & Art Gallery has been awarded £3,500 through The Royal Society’s Places of Science scheme to develop the community project ‘The Dinosaur on Your Doorstep’.
The funding will be used to engage with residents in Hollington through exciting events and activities inspired by the museum’s collections and Hastings’ dinosaur heritage.
The museum was one of only 36 to be awarded funding through the scheme, which aims to celebrate projects that evoke curiosity, interest, and enthusiasm by exploring science in a creative way.
Jonathan Ashmore, Chair of the Places of Science panel, and Prof of Biophysics at University College London, said:
“The projects funded use a diverse range of creative activities and content to inspire their local communities.
“Many of this year’s awardees are also actively trying to make sure that their projects are accessible to everyone in their local communities.
If your local museum has been given a Places of Science award, I would like to encourage you to look out for the displays, festivals, and exhibitions, that celebrate the science on your doorstep.”
