The Kelham Island Museum hosts a talk titled Connecting with Collections: What Do Our Memories Mean to Us? on 13 November 2026. The session invites attendees to consider ideas regarding memory, knowledge, and truth.
Join us at Kelham Island Museum to consider big ideas such as memory, knowledge and truth.
We’ll use the Exhibition Pod's Sheffield Project photography exhibition to stimulate new thinking for an informal but in-depth conversation, prompted by the question: what do our memories mean to us?
As part of a group, you’ll explore Sheffield Museum’s collections and consider how they resonate today. We’ll use the current exhibitions to stimulate new thinking for an informal but in-depth conversation. This is philosophical enquiry – collaborative thinking, talking and listening to build our understanding. Enjoy exploring ideas with others in a setting steeped in history.
All are welcome, no experience necessary.
"Really interesting to share thoughts and ideas with others like this. The facilitator also did a really good job of running the group and ensuring that everyone got their say. I really had no idea what to expect – but would very happily come to another of these." - previous attendee
Please donate if you're able and help keep your museums open and available for everyone to enjoy.
Suggested donation £5 – when you select your tickets, please scroll down and select ‘General Admission + Donation’.
