ADOPTED: The Liar’s Medal

£0.00

I’ve already been adopted. I’m so excited to have some new friends! Why not go an adopt one of my lonely buddies? 

Do you know anyone who tells tall tales? Well if so, I reckon I am the perfect gift for them!

I am the Liar’s Medal, given out to the best, most audacious liar as the prize in a lying competition. There’s a long tradition of lying competitions here in East Anglia, all held at pubs and clubs across the region. Participants competed to tell the most entertaining lies to a gathered audience, with the winner chosen by an expert panel of judges.

I am quite a demanding object for the Museum to look after- because I am made from metal, which corrodes easily if it gets damp, I must be kept dry at all times and in a room with moderate humidity. This is quite a challenge in a building that’s over 400 years old!

Adopt me now to help care for me and gift the liar in your life a gift to remember.

This object has already been adopted.
