Isle of Wight Hidden Heroes

The Isle of Wight Hidden Heroes campaign was designed to re-introduce residents to the incredible collection of Museums and Galleries on the Isle of Wight and strengthen a sense of pride in the place we live.

The project shined a light on those who have achieved remarkable things whilst on the Isle of Wight, from the Dinosaur Age right through to the Facebook Age, Hidden Heroes delved into the past to bring people to life and tell the story of the Isle of Wight.

You can discover the Island’s Hidden Heroes on the dedicated website.

Supported by Arts Council England through the Museum Resilience Fund.
