A Life in Lockdown

The Museum of Gloucester invited everyone in the county to capture their memories of #Gloucestershire during the period of #lockdown, for an exhibition titled ‘A Life in Lockdown’…

Unable to display these memories in an exhibition at the museum, the decision was taken to launch the exhibition online as well as a producing a permanent record of this period in the museum's digital collection.

Launched online on Thursday December 3, the exhibition is comprised of submissions from the public around the county, recording people’s experiences in what has proven to be an unprecedented year. Submissions to the ‘A Life in Lockdown’ digital exhibition include everything from beautiful images of the countryside and the county's crowd-free towns, to empty supermarket shelves and playgrounds, really representing the period from March - August 2020.

The exhibition was put together following a call out from the museum to the people of Gloucestershire, to share the different ways that they coped with the measures designed to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. It captured people’s imaginations and organisers at the museum received hundreds of entries from all age groups and they are delighted to be able to share all entries submitted in the new exhibition.
