Objects shape who we are, the people we engage with, our attachment to place, our values and ideas.
Resonances takes you on a journey to discover Liverpool’s heritage through its collection of donated objects, unifying a diversity as an eclectic assembly of artefacts and oral histories.
We can only speculate about the personal meanings and significance an object holds for an individual or family; donors provide a trace of their story as a gift for future generations.
Resonances combines the collection within six themes:
- Home
- Good times
- Hard times
- Community
- Children
- Work
Each theme explores Liverpool’s past, through people and places that shaped Liverpool’s history, culture, social and economic life.
