THE Kirkleatham Old Hall Museum is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and is planning a series of events, starting with a Meccano exhibition.
The exhibition, Mechanics Made Easy, opens later this month and promises to be a celebration of Meccano construction, in honour of the classic toy's 100th birthday.
The museum is also giving its exhibition area a makeover with a number of banners, which people in the Redcar and Cleveland area have helped to make, on display in the entrance.
For curator Phil Philo the highlight of the museum's 20 years was when it played host to an exhibition by the Staithes Group of Artists. The low point, he felt, was when the museum was forced to close during one winter as part of a cost-cutting exercise
