This February half-term we are hosting a guest from the future - Mustafa Chaudhry, Museum of Imagination curator - and we need your help. The collection contains an estimated 80,000 objects and we have an unfinished list of items to talk to Mustafa about. Help us re-discover some of our favourite objects within the collection, the stories they hold and imagine how future civilisations may think about them.

This workshop is part of UCL Museums and Cultural Programmes 2024-25 event series Architecting Futures, bringing together art, culture and research.

Audience

This is an intergenerational workshop, suitable for all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome but young children will need adult help.
