Museum Object Boxes

We have a range of Museum Object Boxes providing original and high quality replica historical artefacts for health and social care professionals to use as part of their care practice with clients. 

All of our boxes come with a contents list and interpretation related to each object. All you have to decide is which one best fits the needs of the group you're working with. You can borrow a box for up to four weeks at a time.
