Hackney Museum Time Capsule Competition
Hackney Museum are looking for entries to go into a time capsule that will tell people of the future what Hackney is like today and predict what Hackney will be like in the future. The time capsule will be buried under the Town Hall in 2017. You could draw a picture or write a letter to Hackney’s future residents. Templates can be foundat the bottom of this page. All of the entries will be scanned and included on a USB stick and the favourites will be included as hard copies. The deadline is 6th January 2017.
