Stories from the Stores

See a real store recreated in our gallery as we carry out the largest review of our social history collection we have ever done. The collection includes a wide variety of items relating to peoples daily lives and features over 5,000 objects, ranging from fragments of buildings, televisions, radios, gas cookers to marbles and make-up. On certain days you'll be able to see our curators and conservators at work in the exhibition space. There will also be a number of opportunities for you to get involved. Come in and look at the objects we care for, write your own labels for them and give us your opinions on what you think we should be collecting. The 'Stories from the Stores' exhibition is part of a much larger project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England and Plymouth City Council. The project includes an audit and review of our social history collection, improved documentation and storage and the creation of new resources for education and community outreach work.
