~ MUSEUM WORK ~

Vanguard has been performing at various museums in the south of England

and has a regular programme of Home Front workshops and performances at the D-Day museum in Portsmouth, The Submarine museum in Gosport and the Winchester museum.

By using actors and dramatic interpretation the public's perception of a museum and the displays can be enhanced.

A school's visit to the museum can be made more memorable.

A chance to handle items, dress up, experience an air raid and put out imaginary fires.
