Create a blueprint for a house of the future in our drop-in design making workshops. Be inspired by the photographs by Wolf Suschitsky in our new exhibition of Crawley in the 1950s and your own imagination, to create a unique futuristic design. What would your house look like? What energy source would it use? What special features would it have? What would it be made of? When your design is complete show it to a staff member to receive your blueprint stamp of approval!
Did you know that the New Town of the 1940s and 1950s was the third one to be built in Crawley? The first was in Medieval times and the second in the Victorian era. Follow our New Town Trail through the museum's galleries to find out how buildings were constructed in the past. Once complete, return to the front desk to claim your prize!
