Behind The Scenes Of YOUR Museum

Our museum is gaining recognition around the country and is the envy of many opposing teams that visit. Often, they ask how they can create something similar, and our volunteers are happy to help and give advice.

Displaying our amazing history through rare artefacts and kind donations, in themed cabinets, does take a huge amount of time and effort. The WiSH team of volunteers who help organise and design the displays do so with care and a thoughtfulness that all supporters would look after their collection or possessions. The difference is that these are all put together for everyone to enjoy.

What you see most of the time in the various displays is very much the tip of the WiSH archives. The collection is always growing. This may be from a kind donation of rare medals, through to a once forgotten carrier bag of authentic playing shirts and training gear (check your loft, you never know).

The pictures give a glimpse behind the scenes, from moving new displays and workspaces, to yet-to-be-sorted boxes, and items. Eventually, some of these will go on display.  All have a special place in an exciting, ever-growing archive that is truly incredible.

If you would like to help WiSH in any area of what we do, from museum host to tour guide, renovations to social media, then please get in touch at info@wimbledoninsportinghistory.org
