Museum of Today

The Community Brain proudly presents The Museum of Today: a timely collection of personal 'wonders' that helped the contributors to this catalogue get through a momentous time and offered us the valuable opportunity to pause and reflect. Whilst we were not be able to meet physically, this project allowed our community to come together and cherish all the moments, memories and mementos that inspired resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This catalogue is a reminder that even the smallest items can offer comfort, encourage strength and stimulate creativity and we hope that those reading this will also be reminded of the things, big or small, that took on a greater significance in challenging times.

The book includes images of all the 'wonders' accompanied by a short quote from the donor as to its significance, as well as a select few written pieces, plus responses by artists and student creative responses to the exhibition.
