Friends of provincial museums gathered in Wisbech for a national conference.
The meeting was hosted by the Friends of Wisbech and Fenland Museum.
An early highlight for delegates was a talk by local artist and teacher Mia Hansson, who shared details about her replica of the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry.
Attendees viewed the tapestry at St Peter's Church Hall, and proceeds from this event were donated to the Friends of Wisbech Museum.
The conference's theme, "Great Expectations," focused on how Friends' societies can aid the survival of provincial museums in tough financial climates.
The Luxe Cinema hosted the discussions, attended by all 40 delegates.
They were later welcomed to the early Victorian museum by chairman Steve McGregor and curator Robert Bell, who showcased notable items such as a manuscript copy of Dickens' Great Expectations and a chest of trade goods used by Wisbech-born abolitionist Thomas Clarkson.
The day concluded with a formal dinner for 35 delegates at the Crown Lodge, Outwell, where the guest speaker was Wisbech and Fenland Museum president Richard Barnwell.
