Picturing Your Past

Discover Ipswich’s Rich History with ‘Picturing Your Past’

Each installation is accompanied by hands-on activities and authentic artefacts that encourage children to uncover the fascinating elements of Ipswich’s past and explore differences and similarities in recreational pastimes, family traditions and schooling.

Children can immerse themselves in the captivating installations which aim to bring the past to life and encourage them to explore the wonders of history and the importance of preserving the stories that shape our community.
