jewishmuseumldn: unirdg-collections: Ever wonder where a museum gets its objects? In the case of this reversible plough, we drag them out of hedges! Our curators in the 1960s had a tour of a farm in Cornwall and were so taken with this abandoned plough they brought it back to the museum. A favourite in our collection is this enamel Brick Lane baths sign which came to us after being rescued from a skip! So glad it was saved!Has anyone got a more unglamorous provenance for an object than a hedge or a skip? -- source link
