Curious Objects Workshop

Curious Objects – Stirling’s Stories in 10 Objects

Description

We have a rich collection of objects that tell the story of Stirling’s long & varied past. The curatorial team at The Smith have selected their top 10 objects that tell stories of Stirling through the artefacts that have been left behind.

This workshop will give the opportunity to explore these objects in more detail to build a picture of Stirling’s past.

By the end of the session, we will be able to:

• Describe 10 key objects from the museum collections
• Explain why each one has an important story to tell
• Select their own personal choices of objects from the collections and justify their choices.
