MANSFIELD Museum has appealed for help from the public with a new programme that will look at music and memory. During the project, which will start in March, a loan box will be produced containing multi-sensory elements related to music and its changes over the last century. The museum is looking for any items with a music theme, from posters, ticket stubs and memorabilia, to photos, vinyl records, clothing and radios, particularly anything with a connection to the local area. Donated items given will be used for
handling sessions, discussion points for reminiscence and education through a learning programme. A spokesman for the museum said: “All donations are welcome but we reserve the right to refuse any items not appropriate to this project or that are duplicated. The museum, which is free to enter, is open from 10am to 5pm. For more information contact Anne-Marie Rooney, resilience intern, at the museum, email mansfieldmuseum@mansfield.gov.uk or call 01623 463088.
