A follow up to our previous post about the university project looking at shared cultures in fishing communities ... news reaches us that Penlee House in Penzance and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall are engaged in a joint project with Brittany celebrating the culture of the two fishing communities. Their combined budget, I am told, is somewhere around £25,000.
The original university project said 'Plans include photographic exhibitions exploring life in fishing communities and a demonstration project of fishing heritage-led regeneration at the fishing village of Arnemuiden, in The Netherlands.'
So that's the photographic (and art) exhibitions done for them free of charge. They can now spend all of the their Euros 4.6m over four years on the 'demonstration project'.
