They had a great time hunting the museum for stories, including an exhibition on Blood: Ties and Tensions. There were lots of brilliant artefacts in the museum, like a banner in tribute to the NHS and an X-ray machine used in shoe shops in the 1950s!

But the best part of the museum for sure was seeing Lorina Bulwer’s embroidery in person. Lorina was incarnated in a workhouse in the late Victorian era and Sophie and Kerry had been working on a story for the ORIGIN programme about her.

To see the needlework she created whilst in workhouse in person was an emotional experience, truly speaking to the importance of both art and museums.
