Museum of Curiosities

Market Hall
​

Sat, Sun and Mon 10-4 
​Marches Makers Museum of Curiosity is a collection of ubiquitous and intriguing objects. Visitors to the festival are invited to become co-curators of the collection by contributing stories to build the object biographies. Details about where the acquisitions came from, what they are, who may have owned them, what events they may have been present at. Join us in creating imaginary tales to attach to the museum exhibits.

How to contribute

The Museum of Curiosity has 4 sections 
* Everyday objects
* Tools
* Folklore & magic
* Natural history
​Choose which section you want to catalogue your object in, select a label, add your description and place it with your selected object. Don't worry if it already has a label, there can be multiple stories for one exhibit and they don't have to match at all.

Perhaps the mug you have chosen once had a famous owner or was present at an historical event.
The object you selected may have played a part in a local folktale.
Or it may have been a much beloved item of a fictitious character.
You could invent a purpose for a curious looking tool.
Is the exhibit an object of enchantment?
What's the story?

Let your imagination and sense of fun run free.
