Object of the month
Each month on Arundel Museum’s social media, we like to spotlight an item from the Museum collection. We will be posting details on this page too.
When you visit Arundel Museum and read the information and see the collection, it all helps to tell the story of Arundel. However, we also want to showcase some of the story behind the objects too. With thanks to our volunteer Reece Woodhams for researching these objects. If you are interested in volunteering, please get in touch. There are lots of things you can get involved with.
