Hidden Treasures Store Tour for SLHA. Led by Sara Basquill

Sara Basquill is taking a group behind the scenes at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on Tuesday 20 October, for a tour of the Museum Store. It's organised by the Society for Lincolnshire History & Archaeology, and it's one of those rare chances to see the parts of a museum that usually stay out of sight.

Basquill is the museum's Collections Development Officer, so she's the one who knows exactly what's tucked away in the store. The tour takes you past the public galleries and into the storage area, where she'll bring out a selection of rarely seen, special and intriguing objects from the collection. It's a look at the things that don't make it onto the main display, and you'll get to hear the stories behind them from someone who works with them every day. Along the way, there's also the chance to take in the local history treasures that are on display in the galleries.

The whole thing runs for two hours, from 2 pm to 4 pm, and it's held at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on Burton Road, LN1 3LY. It costs £10, which includes tea, coffee and biscuits, so you've got a proper break built in. Places are limited, so you'll need to book in advance rather than turning up on the day.
