Reminiscence Work

The Museum of East Anglian Life is one of four Suffolk Museums to offer the ‘Rekindling Memories’ loan box scheme. Through working with a specialist reminiscence trainer and carers of older people, the Museum has developed a number of specially designed loan boxes that encourage conversation and reminiscence.

The boxes are available for loan to care homes and groups at a charge of £5 per week or £15 for 4 weeks. Loan boxes available by theme:

  • From the Balaclava to the Beehive
  • Holidays and Going Out
  • Home Life
  • Royalty
  • School Life & Childhood
  • Wartime & the Home Front
  • Working Life
