Museum of You

What's the most interesting object you own?

What is its story - and how does that tie into your story?

We are creating a virtual 'Museum of You' and everyone is invited! The exhibition will be put together and showcased in our virtual gallery Infinity in May 2020.

For the people in the North Midlands we are also holding a pop-up museum of people's favourite belongings at our first community event when we all come Together Again.

get involved!

  1. Pick an object with history, take a picture of it and write its story. Writing tips can be found below
  2. Post a picture and story of your object to our Creative @ Home Facebook group, share on Instagram with #creativeathome or email through to hello@northmidlands.org.au
  3. Images and the stories will be showcased on our virtual gallery Infinity in May 2020.
  4. If you live in the North Midlands you're also invited to bring your object and story to share at our community event when we are all Together Again.

Writing tips:

  • 250 words is a good length
  • If you're feeling creative, why not write a poem!
  • Consider whether you would like to type your story or take a photo of it hand-written

Things to consider:

  • What is the object, how did you come to own it?
  • What do you know about it? What DON'T you know about it?
  • What people is this object tied to?
  • What is the object's past? Its future?
  • What does the object represent to you?
  • Do you like it? Dislike it? Why?
  • Why have you kept it?
  • Where does this object live?
  • Is it old or new?
  • What is interesting about it?
