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.

The Hunterian Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00am and 5.00pm. Free entry.

Maryhill Integration Network (MIN) is a grassroots community organisation based in Glasgow, established to bring people seeking asylum, refugees, migrants and the settled inhabitants of Glasgow together. Since 2001, MIN has been developing projects which support positive social change by providing a welcoming space with opportunities for collaboration and connection.

This project is part of the Power in our Communities project, which supports the development of co-production and collaboration practices at The Hunterian. This is part of The Hunterian’s broader strategy to shift the power dynamics of museum practice through building and sharing social and cultural capital.
