Museum of Things

Museum of Things is a creative group started online in February 2021. The group experiments with different artistic techniques each week which help participants discover talents, share their skills and celebrate self-expression. In 2024-2025 Through a process of artistic reclamation, Museum of Things delves critically and creatively into The Hunterian’s spaces and artefacts, reimagining their significance in contemporary contexts. A community of creators explored themes of history, heritage and personal roots, emphasising storytelling as a core concept to foster connections between past and present, individual and collective, tradition and innovation. Multiple perspectives were articulated as part of this journey, reshaping how artefacts are seen and how history is told. The result is a collective exhibition taking place throughout the Hunterian Museum, amplifying narratives that resonate with themes of existing, belonging and identity. Coordinated by Maryhill Integration Network, the Museum of Things’ creative sessions were held at the Hunterian Museum and led by the Syrian artist Mousa AlNana, offering a unique opportunity to respond to the space through a variety of artistic techniques and media.
