Meanwhile, the museum has a new engagement wall, thanks to artist Tim Martin, aka SLAZ, who was inspired by museum objects to make a cool blackboard for visitors to enjoy.

Slaz said: "As an artist it has been really great to work alongside the museum and the awesome staff that run it.

"I was given a tour on arrival and was blown away by the knowledge of the staff and the variety of exhibits. I thought I knew a bit about the history of the area before I went but I now realise there's so much more to know.

"I can't wait to get back in there and further my knowledge and interest about the roots of Gloucester from prehistoric to present day.

"This experience has really helped inform my practice as an artist to make sure my illustrations are more authentic and based on fact. Very inspirational too."
