Memory Boxes

Our Memory Boxes bring the past to life with photos and objects that spark conversation and connection. Each box is themed, from ‘A Night Out’ and ‘School Days’ to ‘Cooking & Cleaning’ and ‘Travel & Transport’, offering a hands-on way to explore everyday life through the years.

Borrow a Memory Box

Take a box out for up to a week and explore the past through objects and photos. We suggest a £5 donation per box. Collection and return are at The Wee Museum of Memory in Edinburgh.
