The collection shown here is identified in the MOTH manifesto as ‘Recent Acquisitions’. This selection consists of objects that have been purchased, donated or bequested to MOTH in recent history. Unfortunately as with many inherited collections staff have been unable to authenticate the provenance of these particular artefacts. In order to adhere to our mission of ontological progress we have chosen, for the time being, to display narratives in the ‘house style’ based on the information deposited with the objects.
