An amazing display of memorabilia, signatures and photographs from an Arrowtown collector will be on display at the Lakes District Museum & Gallery until 27th February.

Categories such as music, sport, politics, literature, movie stars and even space travel are represented by some astonishing items. One of Darth Vader’s gloves, a signed self-portrait from Michael Jackson, and Tiger Woods’s signed golf bag are just a small sample of the items on display. Items as diverse as Abraham Lincoln’s signature on a military commission, a handbook signed by Lenin, and Buzz Aldrin’s NASA training suit will guarantee that there is something for absolutely everyone at the Lakes District Museum & Gallery this summer.

The exhibition has only been open for 2 days and the response from visitors had been fantastic. A few overseas visitors have commented that it is completely unexpected to see such a collection of items in a small town like Arrowtown!
