As existing partners of Maidstone Museum, a relationship strengthened by a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the Kent Archaeological Society is providing additional expertise and support towards establishing the Lives in Our Landscape (LiOL) gallery due to launch in Summer 2024.

KAS Curator Andy Ward is helping the museum team select objects covering 600,000 years of history for display, advising on their interpretation, and creating Geographic Information System (GIS) data for an interactive map that will be part of the gallery’s interactivity.
