If we could speak to the people alive before us, what advice might they give us about living more sustainable lives?

Explore the sustainable stories that these objects tell. What can they tell us about sustainable living in the past and the present?

With Stroud District Council’s target for a carbon neutral district by 2030, the sustainable stories these objects can tell are more relevant than ever.

Free foyer display, on show now!

To create this display we’ve selected just some of the handling objects from our Sustainable Stories from the Past Remote Learning Package, which is available for schools and other educational groups to borrow. Part of our schools programme, the Remote Learning Packages are designed to support the curriculum and offer opportunities for children to handle, investigate and learn using objects from our handling collection, and are supported by a pack for teachers and a class video call with our museum experts designed to support and enhance classroom-based learning.
