Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Museum of Farming Life. I understand it’s your first visit here,
so I’d like to give you some background information about the museum and then explain a little about what you
can see during your visit.
So, where we’re standing at the moment is the entrance to a large building that was constructed in 1880 as the
home of a………………….. Alfred Palmer, of the Palmer biscuit factory. It was later sold and became a hall
of residence for students in 1911, and a museum in 1951. In 2005, a modern extension was built to accommodate
the museum’s collections. Q11
The museum’s owned by the university, and apart from two rooms that are our offices, the university uses the
main part of the building. You may see students going into the building for…………….., but it’s not open to
museum visitors, I’m afraid. It’s a shame because the interior architectural features are outstanding, especially
the room that used to be the library. Q12
Luckily, we’ve managed to keep entry to the museum free. This includes access to all the galleries, outdoor
areas and the rooms for special exhibitions. We run activities for children and students, such as the museum
club, for which there’s no charge. We do have ………………..just over there so feel free to give whatever
amount you consider appropriate. Q13
We do have a cloakroom, if you’d like to leave your coats and …………….somewhere. Unlike other museums,
photography is allowed here, so you might like to keep your cameras with you. You might be more comfortable
not carrying around heavy rucksacks, though keep your coats and jackets on as it’s quite cold in the museum
garden today. Q14
——
I’d like to tell you about the different areas of the museum.
Just inside, and outside the main gallery, we have an area called Four Seasons. Here you can watch a four-
minute animation of a woodland scene. It was ……………especially for the museum by a group of young
people on a film studies course, and it’s beautiful. Children absolutely love it, but then, so do adults. Q15
The main gallery’s called Town and Country. It includes a photographic collection of prize-winning sheep and
shepherds. Leaving Town and Country, you enter Farmhouse Kitchen, which is … well, self-explanatory. Here
we have the oldest collection of equipment for making butter and cheese in the country. And this morning, a
……………..cheesemaker will be giving demonstrations of how it’s produced. You may even get to try
some. Q16
After that, you can go in two directions. To the right is a staircase that takes you up to a landing from where you
can look down on the galleries. To the left is a room called A Year on the Farm. There’s lots of seating here as
sometimes we use the room for school visits, so it’s a good place to stop for a rest. If you’re feeling competitive,
you can take our memory test in which you answer ……………about things you’ve seen in the museum. Q17
The next area’s called Wagon Walk. This contains farm carts from nearly every part of the country. It’s
surprising how much regional variation there was. Beside the carts are display boards with information about
each one. The carts are old and fragile, so we ask you to ………………….close to you and ensure they don’t
climb on the carts. Q18
From Wagon Walk, you can either make your way back to reception or go out into the garden – or even go back
to take another look in the galleries. In the far corner of the garden is Bees are Magic, but we’re redeveloping
this area so you …………….that at the moment. You can still buy our honey in the shop, though. Q19
Finally, there’s The Pond, which contains all kinds of interesting wildlife. There are …………………that are
only a few days old, as well as tiny frogs. The Pond isn’t deep and there’s a fence around it, so it’s perfectly
safe for children. Q20
