The City of Richmond is asking people to dig deep into their cupboards, attics and garages to help with community artifacts for Richmond Museum's new exhibition.
For the upcoming Language of Learning exhibition that opens Feb. 25, 2014, the public is invited to share, by loaning or donating, objects or photos related to learning in Richmond.
They could be items that represent a time when you attended an independent school or participated in religious, cultural or language studies. Or they could be ceremonial objects, certificates, art supplies, specialty books, interactive learning tools, audio visual aids, costumes, or that old uniform you have hung on to.
Particular items include: from the '90s to present day:
Graduation cap and gown, athletic and band uniforms; '70s and '80s: lunch boxes, backpacks, elementary school supplies, a child's jacket, world maps; '30s to '60s: photographs of activities that would have taken place in a Richmond elementary school gymnasium, such as assemblies, clubs, sports and theatre performances.
