Share in the wonder that objects and their stories can arouse. Inspired by the early Cabinets of Curiosity, local people display their own collections of objects to represent their lives, past and present, and their aspirations for the future.
In creating these displays, Exeter’s Youth Inclusion and Support Team, young people, parents, carers and others discovered how objects and their stories can help connect us to other times and places, understand how our world became the place it is and help us find our own place in it.
What objects would tell the story of your life?...

Evening performances at 7.30pm, matinee on 2 November at 2pm.
