The Redacted Museum

Experimental platform for exhibition curation.

Aspiring historical content creator and curator (artist’s interpretation on the right) building content based on making historical academic writing interesting and fun. My work assumes that history at its conception is a product of assumptions, both taught and socially implicit and focuses on the relationship between the fabrication of history and how it is displayed in our great institutions.

Opening 2025 in the
Virtual Exhibition Space

Coming 2025, The Wunderkammer hosts our first ever virtual exhibition in (one-sided) partnership with Staircase House and Stockport Museums.

Facing Staircase House explores the times through which this historic property has lived, taking visitors on a tour through its 400 year history using the medium of fine art.

This exhibition utilizes Stockport Heritage’s unique online collection, using portraiture and figurative art to tell both the personal stories of the sitters and contextualize anonymous figures, their eras and their lives through social cues, to reveal a narrative of the Staircase House and Stockport deeply rooted in the human experience.

Enjoy this exhibition while exploring Staircase House in person or learn the history of our sitters’ home in the comfort of your own.

  • From the Sea

    Museum tour | February 2025

    Tour exploring the relationship between the people of Gairloch and the seas, lochs and rivers that sustain them.

    The aim of this project was to diversify the ways in which audiences could engage with a permanent collection in tandem with the ongoing digitisation of historic collections. I was able to work with both objects on display and in storage to tell stories that encourage visitors to see connections in what might otherwise be disparate. The result tells new narrative that breaks the pre-defined binary of the museum.

  • My experience at the Burgess Foundation - Categorising a Life

    Placement | October 24

    Over October 2024 I had the privilege to volunteer for the Burgess Foundation where I assisted with a project to catalogue the numerous objects in the archive in preparation of eventual digitisation.

    The collection is primarily comprised of objects taken directly from esteemed writer Anthony Burgess’ home. Here I give my thoughts on how you might go about categorising a life.

Take a trip into the World of the Wunderkammer

Explore the museum based on the Cabinet of Curiosity, a 16th century originating collection of object that defied modern categorisational sensibilities. Objects from the natural world, antiquity, mechanical innovation and human imagination to speak to the owner’s wealth, education and affluence. The Wunderkammer museum explores this concept, rooting the museum in 16th century ideology while operating as a modern institution inspired by Britain’s greatest heritage establishments.

Read about our dubious collections and off-kilter exhibitions, book onto an event run by one of our attentive staff, peruse the exhaustive museum guide and take a trip to the Cabinet Café before, as ever, exiting through the gift shop.

Enjoy your visit!
