The Lightbox: Press Release

4 October 2007

Marks Barfield’s Lightbox is Woking’s first museum and gallery.  It originated from the community and contains galleries capable of displaying both international exhibitions and local artist’s work alike; has a permanent exhibition that tells the Woking’s story as well as being a meeting place that provides a cultural bridge between different groups.

Marks Barfield Architects won a design competition in 2002 for the project which has been built for £4.1 mill. The design is entirely as a response to a challenging site and brief, plus a desire to maximise the space within the building. 

The following press release provides more details on the project
