Object Lessons
Building a tangible record of the objects that have shaped our youth.
Since 2022 the Museum of Youth Culture has been inviting the public to share and donate their teenage mementos, from ticket stubs to band tees and school leavers shirts, to help us build a visual record of the items that have shaped our youth.
Made possible with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Lottery Players.
How You Can Get Involved
To build up a record of the objects of our youth, we need your help! We are looking to collect as many items as possible, and whether you send us a photograph or donate the item directly to the museum, every object helps us tell the history of growing up in Britain.
Not sure how to best photograph your objects? This simple guide takes you through the steps of how to photograph your things. All you need is your phone camera!
