The role of art and design in the Doncaster Rovers Football Museum
Description (This can only be plain text, i.e. no links or bullet points.)
DRFC will celebrate its 150th anniversary in September 2029. We are building a museum collection that chronicles that history. For many years there are gaps in the collection and we know it is likely there will always be very few 'real' physical artefacts to fill them.
So we need reproductions and artworks to bring our history to life and share it with our communities. We also want our audience to get involved as artists, crafters and makers themselves.
We are starting from close to zero for large chunks of our history, so almost anything which represents those periods of our timeline is valuable at this point. The process also helps spread our message online and in our mobile museum exhibitions. One day we hope to include a gallery in a permanent exhibition space alongside the museum exhibits. For now we will continue to include DRFC-related art as a ‘thing’ in our temporary exhibitions and online.
