photo exhibit"The Museum represents a living memorial and is more than just a static display. Through this space we have created an arena, which enables us to reaffirm our identity, celebrate our heritage and confront the complexities of our history."
Vincent Kolbe- Ex-resident and Museum Trustee.

Using this guiding principle, the Museum has produced many diverse exhibitions, involving a multitude of talented individuals. Visual artists, conceptual artists, sculptors, painters, musicians, curators and writers have all left their indelible mark on these creative expressions.
