Scarborough Handling Boxes Completed

I've created 4 new Handling Boxes for Scarborough Museums Trust on the themes of Games, Sports, Entertainment and Transport. They were fun and challenging to produce, especially because I was asked in the brief to create boxes which were as interactive as possible but could be enjoyed while sitting down, as they would be used by people in hospice care. I included board games (such as Formula One - an example of which is held by the V&A) and quizzes from the 1960s and 80s (to see if any of the answers are different!). My personal favourite however was the Box Brownie, I could imagine Edwardian amateur photographers using that exact camera. What a world that opened up for people!
