Curators will offer a talk and guided tour of the ‘Stories from the Stores’ exhibition, part of a much bigger project to review and improve our collections. Almost all of the Museum’s social history collections – more than 5000 objects - are displayed in the gallery, which replicates a museum store. See objects that have never been displayed before and offer your opinions on what we should keep, collect or dispose of. Share your knowledge and memories about the objects on display – from 1930s gas cookers to a 1980s disco sign. Try your hand at cleaning, photographing or packing museum objects.
