First up is the Lucky Star, a recreation of a Welsh Chinese take-away, guest-curated by author Angela Hui. It originally featured in the Museum's Taking Care of Business exhibition (learn more about that here: www.migrationmuseum.org/event/takeaw... )

Next up is a tent showcasing stories, artwork and sounds from the former refugee camp in Calais. I don't have a photo, but the display develops from the Museum's previous work, including 'Photography in the "Jungle"' (2015), featured below and here: www.migrationmuseum.org/photography-...
