Transforming The Stories Of Us (In-person talk)

How museums can reshape the stories England tells about itself - and who gets to tell them.

With special guest Caroline Lucas, author and environmental campaigner joining via live video link. In her book Another England, Caroline argues passionately that our society is shaped by the stories it tells about itself, and we urgently need a new, inclusive national narrative.

Event includes exclusive tours of Museum of the Home galleries from a social-class perspective. The Modern Cockney Festival shares its virtual museum, The Story of Cockney in 50 Objects.
