The Museum of Richmond in Richmond, London is located in Richmond's Old Town Hall,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Old Town Hall )〕 close to Richmond Bridge. It was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 October 1988.〔 An independent museum and a registered charity,〔It is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales as charity number 295164. 〕 the museum, which is supported by Richmond upon Thames Borough Council, was created in 1983 by local residents led by local historian John Cloake (who was the museum's first Chairman).〔〔 Its first permanent curator (from 1989 to 2003) was Simon Lace. Its current curator is Natascha Wintersinger.〔 The museum's displays, from mediaeval times to the present day, relate to the history of Richmond, Ham, Petersham and Kew which, until local government boundary changes in 1965, formed the Municipal Borough of Richmond (Surrey). Its rotating exhibitions, education activities and a programme of events (including events for families and children)〔 cover the whole of the modern borough. The museum's highlights include: 16th-century glass from Richmond Palace; a model of Richmond Palace; and a painting, ''The Terrace and View from Richmond Hill, Surrey'' by Dutch draughtsman and painter Leonard Knyff (1650–1722), which is part of the Richmond upon Thames Borough Art Collection. The museum publishes a quarterly newsletter and organises a programme of talks. Admission to the museum, which is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, is free.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Museum of Richmond: Visitor Information )〕 ==Exhibitions== The museum's current exhibition, ''The Battle of Britain 75 years on – Richmond and the Second World War'', opened on 15 September 2015 and will be on display until March 2016.〔 The museum's previous exhibitions include: * 2015 (1 May – 1 September) ''Feeding London: the Forgotten Market Gardens'', a touring exhibition hosted by the museum, telling the story of market gardening in Hounslow, Isleworth, Brentford, Twickenham and Hampton. * 2014 (8 August) – 2015 (22 April) ''1914–1918 Richmond at Home and at War: Local stories and their International Links'', Richmond's experience of the First World War * 2014 (30 January – 26 July) ''Encountering the Unchartered and back – Three explorers: Ball, Vancouver and Burton'', telling the story of explorers Henry Lidgbird Ball, George Vancouver and Richard Burton and their connections with Richmond〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Programme of Films, Talks and Events January – April 2014 )〕 * 2013 (20 March – 2 November) ''Living and Dying in 19th Century Richmond'', exploring the lives of some of Richmond’s 19th-century residents〔 * 2012 (19 December) – 2013 (2 March) ''The Building of a Borough'', showcasing key examples of 22,000 building plans held in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames’ Local Studies Collection * 2012 (3 August – 24 November) ''Royal Minstrels to Rock and Roll: 500 years of Music-Making in Richmond'' * 2012 (4 February – 23 June) ''Happy and Glorious: popular Royal celebration and commemoration in Richmond * 2010 (18 September) – 2011 (26 February) ''Richmond Theatre: Through the Stages''〔 * 2010 (1 May – 4 September) ''How the Vote Was Won: Art, Theatre and Women's Suffrage'' * 2009 (October) – 2010 (17 April) ''Richmond – From Page to Screen'' * 2007 (16 May – 17 November) ''The Two Richmonds – A Celebration of their Twinning'',marking the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown and the twinning relationship of Richmond, Surrey and Richmond, Virginia * 2007 (23 April – 29 July) ''Trading in Human Lives: The Richmond Connection'', on Richmond and the slave trade * 2006 (25 October) – 2007 (17 March) ''Man Remade: Paul Drury’s War in Richmond'', featuring the work of the artist and printmaker Paul Drury *2006 (5 April – 7 October) ''A Rich Heritage'', featuring items from the borough's Local Studies Collection〔 * 2005 (28 September) – 2006 (18 March) ''Turner-Upon-Thames'', focusing on the period when the artist J M W Turner lived in Isleworth and inTwickenham〔 * 2004 (17 November) – 2005 (26 March) ''Britflicks-on-Thames: Film Studios of the Borough and Beyond'' * 2004 (14 January – 24 April) ''The Sensational Miss Braddon'', about the author Mary Braddon who lived and died in Richmond * 2003 (5 August – 28 September) ''Without Exception'', a selection of original prints by Thomas Rowlandson of "The English Dance of Death" (1815–1816) * 2003 (February – July) ''The Virgin Queen in Richmond'', marking the 400th anniversary of the death, at Richmond Palace, of Elizabeth I * 2002 (9 July – 29 September) ''The Fight To Save The View''〔 * 1998 (10 November) – 1999 (13 March) ''Arthur Hughes: The Last Pre-Raphaelite''〔 * 1997 – 1998 (14 March) ''Richmond Women Face to Face'', famous women who lived in Richmond * 1996 (10 September) – 1997 (25 January) ''Spencer Gore in Richmond'', about the artist Spencer Gore who lived in Richmond and died there in 1914 * 1994 (1 November) – 1995 (28 January) ''The Factory of Remembrance: The Poppy & the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Archive of Past Exhibitions )〕 telling the story of the Poppy Factory in Richmond 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Museum of Richmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
