4. What objects do museums collect to capture people's recreation habits?
The William Boyd collection contains objects collected during his childhood. These are just a few from the collection.
- What do these objects tell us about William Boyd?
- What objects would you include in your childhood collection?
- Is one of them something that tells a story about the last three months? (e.g. your pyjamas)
Organising your objects
- Are there any other objects you want to collect to help tell your story of life in Lockdown?
- Is there anything you want to make to represent your life in lockdown? E.g, a film, a diorama, or costume?
- Make sure you have a range of different objects.
Make a list of all the objects you need to help tell your story.
Turn this list into a chart with three columns under the following headings:
- What is the name of the object?
- What’s the story of the object?
- How are you going to present the object?
