Description

The stories behind the Ashmolean's treasures are more than just labels. In December 2020, as the museum closed its doors for the second time that year, the team turned to sharing uplifting tales from their collections to keep spirits high during the dark winter months of quarantine. From bedrooms and garden sheds to kitchen tables, curators shared stories of joy and resilience, which were later compiled into a podcast on the Ashmolean's website. This book brings together some of these most inspiring stories, revealing the human experiences hidden behind the Museum's cases and frames. It is a collection of tales that brought comfort when needed most, and may continue to do so for readers today. With 96 pages of heartwarming stories, this book offers a unique glimpse into the Ashmolean's collections, and the people who care for them.
