The Reframing Picton exhibition
Who was Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton? A war hero. A cruel tyrant. A symptom of the British Empire.
All of these things can be true at once and are explored in an exhibition which has been years in the making.
The exhibition has been split into three parts:
Reframing Picton is the culmination of over 2 years of community outreach between Amgueddfa Cymru and the Sub Sahara Advisory Panel.
Youth-led projects across the museum are part of the Hands on Heritage initiative, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Kick the Dust Grant.
We have worked with the young people behind the Reframing Picton project to develop a glossary of phrases related to the exhibition
We’re always working on new and exciting exhibitions and events – why not be among the first to hear about them?
