Jubilee Reminiscence Box

As part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Royal Mint Museum re-developed and expanded our hugely successful reminiscence sessions.

The reminiscence session took the form of a ‘Museum in a Box’, which contains replicas and original objects from the time for people to handle. Each object is fitted with a special micro-chip which, when placed on the box, play audio clips specific to that object. This can be a fun and stimulating activity, giving people who lived through the changeover an opportunity to talk about their memories.
