A city museum's project has been shortlisted for a national award.
The Salisbury Museum's project, Fashioning Our World: Unpicking the Past to Thread Together the Future, has been recognised by the Museums Association for the Best Museums Change Lives Project Award.
The initiative uncovered and shared stories of sustainable fashion practices from the past, working with young people aged 11 to 25.
By working collaboratively with the age group, the project aimed to inspire a shift in future attitudes towards fashion.

The Museums Change Lives Awards celebrate the impactful work of museums across the UK in enhancing the lives of their audiences and communities.
The winner will be announced in Leeds on Tuesday, November 12, as part of the Museums Association’s annual conference.
The awards comprise four categories, including the Championing Social Justice Award, the Best Small Museum Project Award, the Best Museums Change Lives Project Award and the Radical Changemaker Award.
Each category highlights different aspects of how museums contribute to social progress, community engagement, and overall enhancement of life quality.
The Salisbury Museum, known for its rich historical offerings and community engagement efforts, has once again placed itself on the national stage with this recognition.
