Museums in Motion is a brand new dance and heritage inspired film installation that is opening at Watford Museum for Summer 2016. The installation has been produced in collaboration with Young Carers from Carers in Herts who have explore the theme ‘What is inside your mobile phone?’

Young people and families from across Hertfordshire have come together at Royston, Stevenage and Watford Museums to explore the apps, functions and capabilities of the mobile phone and the historical items that were used for the same task in life in history and relation between the two. The young people and families spent three days as dancers, directors and film-makers to create the installation with a team of professional artists from BEEE Creative and makeAMPLIFY.

The museum is open to the public Thursday to Saturday from 10am – 5pm. The installation is free to visit and is suitable for people of all ages.
