We are delighted that a number of items from our African Collection have been featured on the Earth Museum.
The Earth Museum is an online museum which hosts objects and the stories connecting these from across the globe.
Over a few sessions in the autumn, Rumble Museum Museum Council students worked with Earth Museum volunteer Naima Mokhtar to create a series of entries about our African items. First they thought a bit about categories of object, and each chose an object or two to work with.
They then worked on short stories or pieces imagining the lives of each object. You can see each entry on the Earth Museum website here.
We are very grateful to have been able to work with the Earth Museum on this project, and look forward to adding further entries in the coming months.
