Travel across space and time from the perspective of some everyday yet suprisingly historical objects. These authors help us understand where these objects have been and imagine in-depth and very human lives for the artifact they have chosen. Hear directly from a pipe made from a reindeer antler, an 18th Century Japanese hair pin, or a carved gourd from Uruguay.

From the publisher: “In September 2020, as lockdown restrictions were easing, Grimm & Co arranged for their weekly Saturday groups to visit Clifton Park Museum. Not only did this excursion ignite the imaginations of the children and young people, but it was also the first time they had seen each other face to face since March. Immediately a sense of familiarity and pride was felt as they ventured into Rotherham's beautiful time capsule of history, whilst also learning new things and reimagining old things. The six-week programme that followed explored the fantastical narrative of objects, as well as looking closely at the role museums have played throughout history and what they will represent in the future.”
