The Long Shop is a team effort
For the Long Shop to be such a success means that many people have worked hard, both in the museum itself and as supporters of our project.
We would like to thank the many organisations, trusts and foundations that have supported some of the amazing work that has taken place here during the last 25 years. Here are a few of them and the projects they have supported:
