100 Years 100 Objects
Stories from the collections of Lancaster City Museums
Join us twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for stories from the collections of Lancaster City Museums.
Members of our museum team, academics, and members of community groups have selected their 100 favourite objects from our collection of over 60,000. They join Collections Registrar Rachel Roberts and Museum Assistant Millie Welbourne to discuss what is so special about our collections. Join us as our objects take us back in time and forward to the future, and from Lancashire to outer space. In each episode discover the fascinating local history stories behind our objects and explore what they can tell us about the past, present and beyond.
