In today's episode, hosts Mel and Perry are joined by Rouen Ollivier, the museum registrar. Rouen shares some insight into our weird and wonderful collection and some of the stories that accompany the items. From the day to day elements of caring for over 750,000 items to the events which bring forward memories of times gone by.
Rouen talks about 'modern' items in the collection from Super Mario to Pokemon cards, to the 90 samplers in our textiles collection.
She also tells the story of one of the strangest items in the Jersey Heritage Collection, framed fragment of Philip Carteret's hair. Taken from his coffin in St. Ouen's Chruch in 1869. They also discuss more strange items dating from the 17th century called 'witches balls'.
