Stories by pupils

The MAS took the collection outside the museum walls for the first time in 2021. 35 collection pieces travelled to primary schools as inspiration for new stories about the city. A group of children chose these objects themselves. The result was as diverse as the collection itself: old telephones, a bird's beak, masks, a wooden camel, a papier-mâché dog ... Pupils who wrote a story inspired by an object, had a chance to win a place in the museum with their story.

Since 2021, the writing competition has been repeated every year. A jury, consisting of parents, children, professional jury members and MAS employees, choose the winners. Their stories can be listened to, the objects are exhibited in the Visible Storage.
