• My Buried Treasure: Investigate time capsules from the past and make your very own treasure box in which to store your message for the future! Suitable for families of all ages.
• My Technicolour Self : What if people could see the true you in all of its brilliance and not just the face you show to the outside world? Suitable for people aged 13-17.
• Our Space: We will help you to construct your own mini world of memories by crafting a time-capsule room from your home in a shoe-box! We can’t wait to see and hear about the best things your family did together during lockdown and make a record you can look back on in years to come!

At Home: Museum of a Shelf (Families of all ages)

Museums display objects together to tell a story about a time, place, person, or event. At the Museum of Cambridge, we want to see what objects tell your story in your own home.  

Make a museum on a shelf by following some instructions and creating a museum label. Then share pictures of your #MuseumonaShelf with the Museum of Cambridge.  

Download a PDF instruction sheet and get started telling your story.
