We can offer schools a variety of object boxes filled with interesting document and object replicas from historical eras! A knowledgeable museum staff member can drop off the object box at your school, introducing its contents to pupils. Then boxes can be borrowed by schools for a period of time.
The object boxes we currently offer are:
World War One
- In the Trenches — Find out what it was like to fight in the muddy and cold trenches on the Western Front by looking through a Tommy’s possessions!
- The Global War — World War One effected the entire world. Learn about soldiers from the Commonwealth and their contribution to the war effort.
- The Gretna Girl’s Suitcase — What items did a munitions worker at HM Factory Gretna own? A hairbrush? A autograph book? A perfume? Find out by going through a Gretna Girl’s suitcase.
World War Two
- The Evacuee’s Suitcase — delve into the suitcase of a WW2 evacuee. Discover their most treasured possessions, and learn about life on the Home Front during War.
