About

Explore the connection between the body and objects. How do they interact with each other? Why do we choose to keep some items closer than others? What do you value that you keep close every day?

This fun visual experience for the whole family will take you on a journey through the past. Explore how people in the past communicated through their belongings and the hidden values of the objects they kept closest to them.
