Do you have a museum object for the future?

We are working with Bridport Lockdown to capture a selection of Covid-19 objects to add to our collection as a record of these times.

Over the next few weeks we will be asking people to submit photographs of objects relating to different themes. The photographs themselves will become part of the Bridport Lockdown digital archives. Members of the community will then be asked to select their favourite objects themselves to be archived.

We are living right through ‘history’. It’s the Museum’s job to capture this history- but we want you to help decide what we keep. We can’t keep everything- we’d run out of space in our stores! However, we do want to capture the essence and the heart of Bridport’s response for generations to come. We’ve got some initial ideas for different themes, but we’d love to know if you can think of more- we want to capture objects that really tell the unique story of our town.

To get involved, explore the Bridport Lockdown website, and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
