ABOUT

The redevelopment of Stockwood craft museum to become Stockwood Discovery Centre was made possible thanks to a £3.7 million cash injection from the Heritage Lottery Fund along with £1.2 million Objective 2 European Funding and very generous contributions from Luton Borough Council, the DCMS/Wolfson Foundation Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund, Waste Recycling Environmental Ltd (WREN), Garfield Weston Foundation, Renaissance and other trusts and groups.

This project also shows various other newly created galleries and spaces which underwent huge creative changes as part of the redevelopment project. This project shows just a small sample of the projects undertaken.

The Landscape and People Gallery was a new re-vamped area of the old Stockwood House and which is now part of a group of galleries known as The Discovery Galleries. The project shows graphic panels, illustrations showing a topographical map of charting the area on which Luton stands today through the prehistoric period. The photo shows the newly finished designed gallery complete with cases, graphic panels and lighting.
