Object loans boxes

St Neots Museum has a selection of loans boxes containing original and replica objects, which are a great addition to classroom projects or community events. We check the boxes before they go out and after they are returned to make sure every item you need is there. A photo catalogue of the contents is provided with each box to help you check you have everything. Most of the boxes also contain laminated information sheets.

To view more details about each loans box, please view our Object Loans Boxes PDF
