A successful funding bid will deliver the one-year initiative, which will also challenge perceptions of the past. The partners will create a public exhibition at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester, featuring Virtual Reality, bringing to light objects that have never been exhibited before and showcasing the work of school students. The fund will also provide the opportunity to create Object Boxes with medieval and early modern artefacts from the Grosvenor’s collection to be loaned to primary and secondary schools. The project is funded in the main by an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Follow on Funding Grant for Impact and Engagement, with a contribution from the University of Chester, and is called ‘Mobility of Objects Across Boundaries 1000-1700 (MOB): Exhibiting, Handling and Teaching the Past through Everyday Objects’.
