How many stories can a museum object tell? How can they end up on a museum label? Will there be enough space? Who decides which stories to tell?
100 Histories goes to Paris tomorrow. Pleased to see that many museum professionals have signed up for the workshop that will take place before the talk.

Yep. Wait until you see the storerooms..."It was in a series of immense new warehouses on the outskirts [...] that I began to have some dim feel of the scale of the collection – though it seems impossible that any single human mind could contain the whole of it." www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
‘The ghosts are everywhere’: can the British Museum survive its omni-crisis?
Beset by colonial controversy, difficult finances and the discovery of a thief on the inside, Britain’s most visited museum is in deep trouble. Can it restore its reputation?

Happy to see two of my projects featured in the advent calendar! @100histories.bsky.social tells previously hidden histories of museum objects - some of them might also have been hidden in storage.

2. Restitution of objects is about repair, about understanding context, rethinking assumptions about who knows and how to interpret objects. It's about who produces knowledge and to what effect.

Sorry to write perhaps the most pompous post of all time, but we're gaining followers at quite a rate and, despite our best efforts, we may miss you if you're a museum or heritage org new to the platform!
