Instruments without trace…

In this section of the exhibit we invite you to assess instruments from the Museum’s collection which are total mysteries. Passed down through generations by devoted collectors we know that they must have done something, but what exactly that was has been lost forever. We also identify instruments whose purpose was to hide traces, and so eradicate actions taken in the past. In this section we invite you to think about the information that each one of us leaves behind, what will we try and preserve, what will we try and conceal?

If you have any ideas about what any of these mystery objects could be please leave a comment below.
