Documentation from our research project on contemporary attic culture will be posted here over the next few months. Come back soon for more attic stories! Attic stories #1
The shop of general interest has now ‘sold’-out of treasures to adopt from the Rossendale Museum. Thanks to all who took part, we hope you enjoy your evening at the museum!
Private attics (or lofts) can be viewed as a form of social history museum, each housing a unique collection of exhibits, and a variety of approaches towards archiving, storage and collecting. We have started visiting lofts in Rawtenstall and talking to their respective curators. What kind of treasures and possessions are stored or hidden away in the loft, and what does this reveal?
