While the world around us gets more depressed by headlines about tackling climate change, high oil prices and how to survive in a world of financial meltdown, we want to ask one big question…
At The Museum of East Anglian Life (MEAL) we have been exploring these questions and attempting to take on board some of the principles and tools developed by the New Economics Foundation (nef) to help us.
Based around the rural village of Stowupland, on the edge of Stowmarket, the exhibition uses four time periods to compare and contrast the well-being and happiness of the people that lived in the village in the years 1851, 1901, 1951 and 2001.
This exhibition is part of a wider sustainability project delivered through the Rural Museums East Partnership. It is funded by Renaissance East of England.
