Explore the theme of #Myths and Storytelling, from Zeus to AI & everything in-between. Organised by researchers from the #UniversityOfBath & the #Holburne#Museum team, the annual "Holburne Up Late" event is an opportunity to discover museum collections & exhibitions in a relaxed & engaging environment. Join us Fri 27 Sept 2024, for Workshops, storytelling & games for all ages.
Explore a bespoke digital collection created especially for the Up Late evening by Anna Dirs around the theme of #myths and #storytelling, with artefacts from the #Holburne#Museum and its #archives
#Myths are re-interpreted to reflect the sensibilities of a period, but the wear & tear of an object can tell us a personal story. This #1830 purple silk bag has intricate hand sewn floral motifs. Preindustrial textiles were all handmade & a #19CE noble lady would embroider small items such as this bag.
