About the exhibition
La Tèrr’rie d’Jèrri - d's histouaithes dé not' Île / Being Jersey - stories of our Island
Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny - a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition. Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history. This exhibition celebrates some of our Island's most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
