Your Jubilee

11th May – 11th September at Wycombe Museum.

This year, Queen Elizabeth II celebrates 70 years on the throne – her Platinum Jubilee. She is the UK’s longest reigning monarch, having broken Queen Victoria’s record of almost 64 years on 9 September 2015.

This exhibition celebrates the current Queen’s Coronation and Jubilees, as well as some of those of earlier Queens and Kings, including Queen Victoria.

But this exhibition is also about you, and how you and other local people have marked royal events. From street parties to special souvenirs and memories, how have you celebrated and what do Royal events mean to you? The exhibition will develop and evolve from when it opens on 11 May to when it ends on 11 September as we add commentaries from key local individuals and groups. We also invite you to share your thoughts, drawings and memories on the postcards provided.

This Jubilee exhibition is yours – however you celebrate royal events, or whether you ignore them altogether.

Your Jubilee is open at Wycombe Museum from 11th May – 11th September. Entry is free.

Entry to this exhibition has been closed ahead of schedule as of 8th September due to urgent matters relating to the care of our collection. We apologise to anyone who was hoping to visit it over its closing weekend.
