A museum exhibit looking at life in Jersey throughout the years has won an award.

Jersey Museum's La Tèrr'rie d'Jèrri - which translates to Being Jersey - received a gold award in the Interior Design Galley category at the Better Future London Design Awards 2025.

The exhibit opened in September last year and includes displays of prehistoric mammoth skulls, royal charters and items from 1781's Battle of Jersey between Britain and France and the Nazi occupation during World War Two.

Louise Downie, director of curation and experience at Jersey Heritage, who runs the museum in St Helier, said a lot of hard work had gone into setting up the exhibit.

Ms Downie added: "The gold award from the London Design Awards is the icing on the cake and is richly deserved by everyone involved in the project."
