A fun and educational experience for the whole family, the newest exhibition to Rutland County Museum is set to launch on 27 January.

On Sunday, Rutland County Museum will welcome the brand-new 'Out of the World!' Exhibition, an exploration of space race toys and TV programmes from the 1950s.

The team said: "A wonderful selection of vintage toys and games inspired by the Space Race and TV programmes of the 1950s-1970s feature in this new exhibition at Rutland County Museum.

"From Dan Dare to Thunderbirds, it has something for all ages and will bring back childhood memories for the 'boomers' amongst you."

This exhibition will run from 27 January until 9 March 2024 and is free.

In the spring, the museum will be hosting the Rutland Youth Open Art Exhibition, which will follow in the jet stream of the 'Out of this World!' Exhibition.

The museum is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10am until 4pm.
