The Lightbox, Independent museum in Woking, England
The Lightbox spans three galleries across two floors, featuring rotating exhibitions of art and local history collections near the Basingstoke Canal.
The museum, which opened in September 2007, emerged from a 1993 community initiative and was designed by the architects responsible for the London Eye.
The permanent exhibition 'Woking's Story' presents the town's heritage through interactive displays, historic films, and recorded personal testimonies of local residents.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00, with free access to the cafe and local history museum.
The building incorporates ecological features and received both the Art Fund Prize Museum of the Year award in 2008 and a Green Tourism silver award in 2016.
