DIVERSITY was the theme for Trowbridge Museum's most recent exhibition, which charted the history of the town's Polish and Moroccan communities.

The exhibition, which was part of the South West's Lottery-funded Diversity Festival, sought to raise awareness that Trowbridge is a multi-racial town.

Members of each community were on hand to assist with the event, supplying many of the exhibits and offering advice on the displays.

The Bristol-based Honorary Consul of Poland, Ireniusz Peszynski, officially closed the event on January 10.

The exhibition featured traditional costumes from both countries, as well as involving workshops, which were said to be an immense success.

Closer to home, the next feature exhibition at the museum is to be a history of the Wiltshire Times.

The exhibition, which opens tomorrow, will give an insight into the paper from its first publication in 1854 by Benjamin Lansdown.
