Essex Police Museum - Past and Present
The Essex Police Museum, at Essex Police Headquarters in Chelmsford is a treasure chest of historical objects and information, dating back to 1840, all providing clues as to how the police service has developed to be the organisation it is today.
The Museum preserves the history of Essex Police giving visitors, both young and old, the opportunity to get involved in educational and craft activities covering a variety of subject areas including the Victorians and World War II.
Visitors can also view a range of historical materials including personnel, disciplinary and other records together with more general documents and a large photographic collection.
The museum has now become well known as an outstanding educational resource for school children and community groups including Scouts and Guides associations.
In the last five years visitor numbers to the museum have doubled but sadly, due to the current economic climate and pressure on the force budget to find savings of up to £43 million by 2014, the police museum is at threat of closure.
Working with the community on a daily basis Essex Police would like to give local organisations the opportunity to become a partner with the force by sponsoring the Museum. Working together we can help to ensure it stays open to the public, preserves the history of Essex Police officers and staff and continues to inspire even greater achievements from future generations.
The opportunities for organisations to directly support the Essex Police Museum take many forms, for example, you may like to sponsor a particular display within the museum or contribute to educational activities that run throughout school holidays.
For more information on the Essex Police Museum or sponsorship opportunities visit or call the Museum - telephone 01245 452395

Glasgow Scotland - Moments of Charm
Glasgow Scotland - Moments of Charm
Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland. Located at the west end of Scotland's Central Belt on the banks of the River Clyde, Glasgow's historical importance as Scotland's main industrial centre has been challenged by decades of change and various regeneration efforts. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.
The City Centre (known as town or the toon to locals) is bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, High Street to the east, and the River Clyde to the south. This is the area where most visitors will start, and the most notable elements are the grid plan of streets and the lavish Victorian and Edwardian buildings and civic squares which give the area much of its character. The main arteries of the City Centre are Argyle Street and Sauchiehall Street which both run on an east-west axis. They are linked by Buchanan Street which runs north-south. Together, these three streets form the main shopping thoroughfares.
The eastern side of the City Centre is a sub-district known as Merchant City, which contains Glasgow's original medieval core, centred around the Glasgow Cross (the junction of Trongate, Saltmarket, High Street, Gallowgate and London Road). Merchant City extends up to George Square, with many ornate buildings that date back to Glasgow's emergence as an industrial city. High Street north of the Glasgow Cross is the main artery of Old Glasgow and leads uphill to the Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis cemetery.
The western area of the City Centre contains the city's core commercial and business district and is dominated by Blythswood Hill, which is centred around Blythswood Square. Running parallel to Sauchiehall Street, Bath Street is the main route into the neighbourhood and has a rich mix of independent shops and bars, as well as distinctive Georgian town house style architecture. South of Blythswood Hill is the city's financial district, with many modern glass and steel office buildings which stand alongside their classical counterparts. Further south, on the north bank of the River Clyde is the district of Anderston.
To the west of the City Centre, no official definition of where the West End boundary line exists, but it can roughly be defined as being bounded by the M8 motorway to the east, Great Western Road to the north, the River Clyde to the South and Crow Road to the west. The nucleus of the area is undoubtedly the neo-Gothic University of Glasgow, which acts as the anchor for this bohemian district, with its lovely architecture, tree lined streets and quaint shopping areas.
The primary east-west artery is Argyle Street/Dumbarton Road, while Byres Road is the main north-south artery and contains a number of independent shops, bars and restaurants. Ashton Lane connects Byres Road to the University campus and is a cobbled backstreet with distinctive whitewashed buildings, holding an eclectic mix of bars and eateries that make it a tourist hotspot.

Highlands, Scotland: Crannogs and Cairns - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite
More information about travel to Scotland:
The Highlands’ rich history stretches back 4,000 years. In prehistoric times, Highlanders lived in homes built out over lochs, called crannogs, and buried their dead amid mystical stone configurations, or cairns. Thanks to the efforts of modern Scots, you can still admire crannogs and cairns today. Visit for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.

Is religion a museum piece?
The video introduces St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow, which has been described as the first public museum of religion in the world. Do note, however, that the Museum of Religions at the University of Marburg, Germany was founded in 1927 by Rudolf Otto. It contains a considerable number of artefacts and iconographic materials drawn from religions across the world (information provided by Professor Michael Pye, University of Marburg). There is also the Lenin Museum of Religion and Atheism in Moscow, but that institution makes no attempt to present religion in either an objective or comparative fashion. Of course, no museum can be described as value-free; none are objective or exist outside their social, political and funding contexts. The St Mungo Museum was not a planned museum: the building was constructed as a visitor's centre for Glasgow Cathedral, with which it shares a site, but the Cathedral abandoned the project owing to financial difficulties. This left the city council with a functionless, half-completed building in an area of Glasgow visited by many tourists. Finally, it was decided to use the already existing resources in the Glasgow Museums' collections to open a specialist centre around the theme of religion.
The Museum is divided into three parts: one houses a collection of religious art from various traditions, another is devoted to the human lifecycle as it is understood/celebrated across a range of religious traditions, and the third concentrates on the history of religion in Scotland. While you may initially see the museum depicted in the video as a tranquil, typical and uncontested example of public education, in reality it has been the centre of heated debate since it opened. Especially soon after its opening, the Museum has generated considerable controversy, ranging from complaints about perceived unequal treatment of traditions, to actual physical attacks on exhibits.
Some members of particular traditions have complained about being included in a comparative display with other religions that they consider to be 'false', while other members of the same groups have felt that their traditions were under-represented in the displays. An interesting feature of each room is the bulletin boards, where visitors are actively encouraged to respond to the exhibits. The notes make it clear that religion and how it is represented is still capable of rousing passionate feelings in many. One offended visitor in 1993 wrote, 'St. Mungo's; where Satan is free to run rampant'. However, the majority of comments are positive.
As the senior curator of Glasgow Museums explained, the St Mungo Museum set out to do something different, something contentious:
If the aim was to communicate something of the meaning of the objects, we had to reverse the usual process in museums of draining them of their dangerous meanings to render them safely aesthetic, historical or anthropological. In the case of religion 'meaning' has an emotional and spiritual dimension that can be described much more powerfully by those who experience it than those who have simply studied it.
(O'Neill, 1994, p.28)
As a result of this approach, the Museum decided to interview 'ordinary' believers and incorporate their comments into the displays, rather than relying on the views of priests, religious professionals or scholars. The Museum wanted to portray the traditions sympathetically, yet retain the right to criticize: this has proved a difficult balance to achieve. For example, the owners of material that had once belonged to the missionary and explorer David Livingstone threatened to withdraw it unless the Museum altered the text of a caption that expressed the view that missionary work had damaged indigenous cultures. Others have shown offence at photographs of the face of a girl undergoing ritual circumcision; still others have physically attacked non-Christian artefacts, damaging an important bronze image of the Hindu god Shiva (Figure 3). Some cathedrals have signs reminding visitors that they are places of worship, not museums. In contrast, St Mungo's is a museum where, as with the Victoria and Albert example shown in Figure 1, some people interact with the exhibits in a devotional manner. The museum's stated goal, however, is a more neutral one (or is it?): 'to reflect the central importance of religion in human life' (Arthur, 1993, p.232).

A new look for Glasgow Science Centre
Over the last 12 months we’ve been responding to lots of customer feedback to improve the experience you have with us on our website and alongside this, we’ve updated our brand, logo and everything we stand for to keep up with what you, our valued visitors, friends and customers are looking for.
At GSC we really value our staff; they’re the people who make your experience (hopefully!) a good one. They make you laugh in a science show, or help you out when you’re at an event, they greet you when you come into the building and (unfortunately) help you out when we’re closing. They’re a fantastic bunch, super proud to work here and super happy to help and they’ve inspired us to bring our brand into the future and try to tell our story a little more.
Our logo and everything associated with it has been the same for many years now and this year, we were determined to use resources raised to improve the way you experience GSC. Our new website will work on mobile (something our old one poorly lacked), it will be clearer and easier to navigate and allows tickets to be bought online for visits to GSC. In time, it will also allow our passport holders (GSC's membership scheme) to manage their accounts online and newcomers to purchase passports for themselves and others.
We’ll take the opportunity to make signage clearer in the building too to ensure that your experience is quality from the moment you say hello until you’re waving goodbye. When developing the logo we took inspiration from GSC's architecture, shapes from around Glasgow and science and from the old logo, reflecting the transformation from old to new. It is also reminiscent of GSC's love of curiosity and wonder with the combination of the question mark and exclamation mark.
All the best from your GSC team
