Welcome to the second gallery of the Museum of Kindness – made entirely from contributions by Tees Valley pupils, with a little help from some local writers we’ve been working with. Museums usually collect physical things. Sometimes though, there are important things to collect that you can’t hold or put in a case or on a wall. These moments, these feelings, these stories sometimes get lost in history because they’re not easy to collect, keep and display. This Museum is filled with thoughtful entries from pupils of all ages. We’ve been so overwhelmed by the sheer number of stories of kindness we’ve received that we’ve opened a second gallery for our museum. We hope you enjoy visiting it as much as we have. Don’t forget to visit both galleries!
If you’ve helped make this Museum and are looking for your own moment of kindness, just use search to find your name. If it’s not there yet, keep checking back.
