Write your own label

This is a label written by one of our visitors to the Odditoreum display that we featured earlier in the year. This display showcased a selection of weird and wonderful curiosities from deep within the vaults of the Museum’s collection. Children’s author Shaun Tan then gave these unusual objects a different story about the objects that blurred the line between fantasy and fiction.

Within this experience the visitor was encouraged to write their own interpretation of the objects and then share them with other visitors in a special display. This is one of the labels that was written by an eleven year old. It reads:

Mutated Moth
This amazing moth was found in the deepest Borneo where it had mutated to the size of an incredibly small lawn mower whilst being dissected by the greatest scientist that ever lived.
