    "This museum incites curiosity and amazement in equal measure for humankind's ability to conceive, create and transform materials & objects in every way." Comment in visitor book. On opposite page: "I think you need to stick to one thing." Danny, 10

    #Archaeology is being created all the time. This USB stick was dug up in London in 2012, loaded with Amy Winehouse music, Bhangra dancing & content from adult websites, giving a snapshot of life at a certain point in time. #ObjectoftheMonth 2016.47.1 bit.ly/1YoZqs1
