Collective Conversations
Collective Conversations was an award winning project that made films about people's encounters with objects from the Museum's collections.
The subjects of the films explore objects usually hidden away in stores and discuss the meanings they hold. To watch these films visit The Manchester Museum's YouTube channel.
They are also on display in the Museum.
The Manchester Museum held 'conversations' with diverse groups and individuals including local migrant communities, researchers, enthusiasts and academics.
They might be people who identify or have personal interests in the objects, people whose work gives them insights into relevant themes, or people who are simply curious.
