b'Museums are powerful storytellers. Every artifact has a human story that brings it to life, cultivating an emotional connection with cultural heritage. The stories of a peopleour collective identityalso spark curiosity and ignite imagination while bridging the gap between generations. They foster an understanding of culture that instils a sense of belonging and the inspiration to continue the narrative. We transform from passive observers to active participants of the story. Stories make us care, others drive change. But they all invite us to continue unravelling the details.Therehasbeenrenewedinterestinourmuseumwiththeinfluxofnewcomers since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
