Why visit

A national collection is not a neutral mirror of the past: objects acquire meaning through selection and arrangement. MHN provides a reference for connecting very different periods. While its galleries are closed, use the digital collection to compare themes across this route and consider how each object can support several questions.

What to look for

Digital collection and virtual exhibitions
Documented historic displays on Indigenous histories and transport, without guaranteed physical access

How does selecting objects change the story a museum tells?
