Mr Smithies and the Lost Tombs of Peru at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery (2008)
'Mr Smithies and the Lost Tombs of Peru!' is an award-winning exhibition which was on show at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery during 2008-9.
The exhibition tells the story of an ordinary man from Warrington who went to Peru to run a cotton mill there whilst somehow managing to build up one of the finest collections of Peruvian artefacts in England!
Many of the items he collected between 1896 and 1927 have ended up at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, which he used to live next door to. Now, for the first time, his story is revealed and his best finds are on display in one room.
The objects in turn bring the story of the Ancient Peruvian people to life what they believed in, what they fought for and how they lived. They show how cultures such as the Incas flourished in spite of all the earthquakes, tidal waves and droughts.
As well as fine pottery, domestic objects and metalwork from ancient graves the exhibition features two mummies one of which is unwrapped! Fortunately, its hidden behind a special curtain, so you dont have to look if you dont want to. But you have been warned!
The exhibition also features some fun activities for children and the young at heart. Learn how to decorate fabrics and have a go on the weaving loom. Or try on a tunic and dress up as a Peruvian!
Fascinating, well presented and informative is just one of the many visitors comments about this exciting exhibition.
So come and join the adventure to uncover secrets of early Peruvian civilisations with Mr Smithies and one of the largest collections of ancient Peruvian artefacts.
'Mr Smithies and the lost Tombs of Peru!' won best project on a limited budget at the Museum and Heritage Awards 2009.

Markmakers exhibition at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery
From fake mermaids to willow patterned plates, Warrington Museum's Ethnology collection has inspired the contemporary visual arts collective Markmakers to create new works for this exhibition. Some have retained a very direct relationship to those in the collection, while others have evolved into wider considerations of modern day politics, how we address memory, and our labeling and appropriation of other cultures. Exhibition on show 25 January - 3 May 2014 at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, Cheshire, UK

Roots Between the Tides: JAM Remixes Warrington Museum
The John Affey Museum (JAM) is a speculative museum project led by artist and researcher Clair Le Couteur, reimagining museum histories from the perspective of the outsider. JAM is named after John Affey (1904–1969), an amateur collector and folklorist who worked in the British Antarctic whaling industry in the first half of the 20th century. Affey’s methods and ideas shared features of magical thinking, fringe academia and conspiracy theories, in particular in the habit of finding unexpected and unlikely associative links between unusual things.
In Roots Between the Tides, the JAM project uses Affey’s method to explore Warrington Museum, one of Britain’s oldest and most interesting small museum institutions, with a fascinating collection and a long and unusual history.
Using a combination of techniques from photography, sculpture and archival research, JAM will ‘remix’ elements from Warrington, creating a hanging network of several hundred images on the mezzanine level of an original Victorian exhibition space, the World Stories Gallery. Visitors will navigate a web of interconnected stories, using an accompanying catalogue and binoculars attached to the mezzanine railings to explore the numbered images.
