The hidden stories of objects

A new permanent display at the National Conservation Centre

They say a picture paints a thousand words - and that's only in two dimensions! Imagine just how many interesting stories are hidden behind some of the incredible objects in National Museums Liverpool's collections.

The new permanent display at the National Conservation Centre, 'Reveal - the hidden stories of objects', shows how conservators try to unlock the secrets contained within a variety of different items from our museums and galleries.

You can find out more about the objects on display in Reveal and the stories behind them in the Reveletion database on this website. If you have an interesting object we'd like to hear about that as well - click on the link below to find out how your own treasure could become a star of a new online gallery.
