What 50 things would you choose to tell the story of your community?
That’s the question that communities – of place, identity and shared interest – are asking themselves with our pioneering concept in which we co-curate with the community their Pocket Museum.
Build togetherness through sharing stories, memories and heritage in a slow, convivial, deliberative manner with your community’s pocket museum.
The landmarks, famous sons and daughters, and lost pubs. The cultural motifs, local lingo and sports clubs. The infamous and notorious. Which are you nominating?

“The concept of a pocket museum is genius; a hand held visual cue that leads to conversation, shared memories and community collectiveness. The opportunity to develop a pocket museum of our own was a gift; The Story of Splott in 50 Objects brought residents together in fun and creative ways in its making and, now that we have the physical object itself, is bringing people together again as they explore the cards and recall specific memories inspired by numbers #1 to #50. The simplicity and tactility of the pocket museum is immensely satisfying and I would encourage any community offered the opportunity to work on their own version to jump at the chance.”
