Bare Essentials

A fascinating exhibition and beautiful to look at. The way the text has been put on the walls is really innovative and I liked the idea of visitors listing on luggage labels what bare essentials they would take if emigrating overseas. My favourite exhibit was the little 19th century child's dress that had been found in a hayloft still with the cherry stones in the pocket. What story could one weave around that artefact?
