Problem Solved! Donating Paint To The Marlipins Museum
July 5th, 2024
When a roof leak caused water damage
to the exhibition gallery at Marlipins Museum, we knew we had the right
products to help bring it back to its former glory. The Brewers Foundation were
thrilled to be able to donate the paint needed to redecorate the museum based
in Shoreham-by-Sea, ready for its reopening in May.
Marlipins
Museum
is one of the oldest buildings in Britain, allowing its visitors to
discover the maritime history of Sussex. The Grade II listed Norman building
can be found in the high street of the coastal town and is famous for the flint
and limestone chequerboard exterior.
Dating
back to the 12th century, the building is believed to have been used as a toll
or custom house for the port, providing secure storage for specialist items
including wines, spices and fabrics. Today it stores a unique collection with
objects collected from shipwrecks off the coast of Sussex and further away.
Zinsser BIN, Hammerite Kurust One
Coat, Mylands Plant Based Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint and Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion
was all donated to ensure the museum was decorated to a high standard,
repairing the damage caused by the leak.
The final result is impressive and we were so pleased we could help!
