New Project Award

Following a competitive tender, PLB has been awarded the challenge of engaging Millennials and Gen Z audiences within the Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol in the historic port of Looe, Cornwall. It is part of the wAVe project that is developing a range of virtual, augmented, and immersive heritage experiences throughout the region.

Petra Stephenson, Volunteer Museum Manager said, “PLB really understood what we were looking for, presenting exciting and creative ideas which fitted seamlessly with our vision for the museum. The results will be perfect for engaging for our new audiences, but they actually feel like they will be inclusive for everyone”.
