about the exhibition

The objects we use in our daily lives say something about the people we are and the lives we lead. The objects we no longer use every day but keep and don’t throw away say something about what matters to us. Arranged and displayed in a glass cabinet these objects take on a new identity and speak their stories silently in our imaginations.

Here we invite you to explore the stories behind such a collection of objects, all belonging to a particular group of people. These people have something in common. Discover what that is! STEP through the Looking Glass of the Conway Travelling Cabinets…
