1/It's the time of the year when traditionally the dead 💀 are commemorated. Museums are full of objects connected to death, what can they tell us about mourning & remembrance?Inspired by Grave Goods let's embark on a journey to explore objects & death British Museum (thread)..

Why do we bury things with the dead? Possessions. Gifts. Keepsakes. Charms. Favourite things. Dressed to look their best. Things to remember us by. Debts repaid. New debts made. Food for the journey. Kit for the next life. #MuseumFromHome BBC Arts Arts and Humanities Research Council #CultureinQuarantine
