Three new exhibitions have gone on display at Warwick's Market Hall Museum this November.

Interactivity is key to the three new features, bringing some of Warwickshire's little-known history to life.

'1920s The Age of Jazz' shows two 1920s dresses evoking the glamour of the era, including a cape, and fashionable evening coat.

The cinema screen in the museum shows a vintage film of the Charleston being practised, and footage of iconic dancer and musician Josephine Baker.

Visitors can also have a go on the Charleston dance mat! 

'Life on the Land' helps to uncover the hidden stories of the people who lived and worked the land in rural Warwickshire over the last 200 years.

The display features a 19th century 'Sunday best' smock worn by a Warwickshire farm worker and a 1950s radio and knife steel set.

Films relating to this display show the Coleshill farm of 1950s comedian Reg Dixon, and an innovative 1950s goat farm in Stretton-on-Dunsmore. 

'Our Commonwealth' is a case study of Reuben Lynch a resident of Bidford-upon-Avon, who originally moved from Montserrat to the UK, as a child.

Carefully selected items of Reuben's are on display.

There are also smells of Montserrat as chosen by Reuben available for visitors to try and guess. Excerpts from an interview with Reuben on his Commonwealth story are also play on the Cinema screen. 

Cllr Heather Timms, Warwickshire County Council's portfolio holder for environment, climate and culture said: "It's great to see some of the hidden stories of Warwickshire and the Heritage and Culture Warwickshire collections, revealed through the new Market Hall Museum displays.

"Everything from dancing the Charleston, to fascinating stories from the Commonwealth, can now be enjoyed by museum visitors."

Along with the new displays Market Hall shop has been expanded and refurbished.

Market Hall Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday 10am - 5pm and is free entry.
