Why it's Wildland

6.2

A museum shaped by people with experience of homelessness, sharing stories from a national collection while connecting its work to a living community site.

This is a distinctive, socially engaged museum whose subject is often discussed without the voices of people directly affected. Its intimate tour format and community work make it a more considered visit than a conventional display of objects.
