Celebrating 60 Years of MacIntyre

MacIntyre Hertfordshire is celebrating its 60th anniversary with an exhibition at St Albans Museum + Gallery, opening on 9 November and running through to 31 January 2027. The display comes out of the museum's Communities in Residence programme, and it's the result of a residency that brought together people from MacIntyre's Crosby Close and Station Road communities.

Over the course of that residency, the group spent time exploring their identities, their interests, and what matters most to them. The exhibition lets you follow the stories that came out of that shared journey. At the centre is a collaborative M sculpture, and around it you'll find photographs, songs, poetry, music and sensory elements. It's less a traditional gallery show and more a collection of things made by the people who live and work there, so you're seeing the actual output of the residency rather than just a report on it.

Because it's part of the museum's wider programme, it's open for a good stretch of the winter, from early November right through to the end of January. Entry is free, so you can drop in whenever suits you. The exhibition is at St Albans Museum + Gallery in St Albans, running from 9 November to 31 January 2027.
