Badges of Honour

Free
Join us for the launch of our exciting new Heritage Lottery funded project, ‘Badges of Honour’.
Badges of Honour Launch
Wednesday 1st May
10am to 4pm
at GWL Landressy St
This project will show how women wearing badges have changed the world! Pop in and explore our fantastic badge collection, marking the campaigns women have been involved with, from Peace activism to baths closures, childcare and domestic violence.
Show and tell us about your badge history (we want to see your ballroom dancing or bowling medals too!) and meet an artist who was inspired by our collection.
You will also have the chance to create your own badges inspired by current events or recreate lost loved badges from your past.
This event will be followed with a series of group visits to other collections in Glasgow where you can learn more about suffragette medals, women’s liberation badges, and hear more about the amazing women who owned them. You can sign up for this inspiring programme at the launch.
Whether you have a passion for music, politics or sport, come along wearing your own badge with pride.
