    Summary

    In collaboration, RIBA Plymouth, RIBA Cornwall and the Chartered Institute of Building invite you to explore The Story of Emily with Oliver Sadler and Nicola du Pisanie from Stonewood Design.

    Spend the morning going behind the scenes at this RIBA Award winning project. You'll hear how this fascinating site has been brought to life through thoughtful restoration of historic buildings, pioneering interpretation, and the development of a modern bespoke museum.

    The Story of Emily is an engaging and immersive museum celebrating the life of humanitarian Emily Hobhouse, who campaigned against the UK’s use of concentration camps in the Boer War.

    The entire project has been orchestrated through careful planning of the site that maintains a range of significant existing features, including historic agricultural buildings, mature trees, and traditional stone walls.
