Encouraging a closer, creative look at fascinating artefacts from Moyse’s Hall museum in Bury St Edmunds.
This project was developed during the Covid-19 pandemic so that vulnerable people could engage in a stimulating group project.
The museum collections provided a wonderful conduit to connect with others, exploring creativity whilst allowing for expression of values, beliefs and imagination.

The museum’s curator provided a rich insight into working practices and artefacts from the fourteenth Century through to policing in the nineteenth century.

Initially supported by the Cultural Recovery Fund, the project was later made available as a 4-week social prescription course thanks to funding from Community Chest, West Suffolk Council.
