We asked our teams to share some of the sad* Christmas decorations in the collections they help care for.
*Note: Not all are sad. Some are ever so slightly odd and all are weirdly wonderful.

Many years ago I entered a photo competition.
The only judge was Martin Parr. He put my photo in the final six which went to the public vote. He'd been one of my photo heroes and his work continues to inspire me.
So sad to hear he has died.

Giving Tuesday feels like a good day to show a little love to Colchester’s stories. If something in our collections makes you smile, you can adopt it, or gift an adoption to someone who’d love it.
