Museumand

Museumand: The National Caribbean Heritage Museum is a museum celebrating the contribution of British African-Caribbean people to life in the United Kingdom. It is a "museum without walls" based in Nottingham, and works with communities there and elsewhere, including mounting exhibitions in museums, universities and other places.[1] It was founded in 2015 by Catherine Ross as the SKN (Skills Knowledge and Networks) cultural museum.[2]

In 2020 the museum started to publish a book 70 Objeks & Tings telling the story of the "Windrush generation" through their familiar objects and other aspects of their daily lives. The book is to be printed in 2021 but as of November 2020 some sections are available online.[3][4]

The museum's founder, Catherine Ross, is its director[5] and her daughter Lynda-Louise Burrell is its creative director.[6] Ross came to the UK in 1958 from Saint Kitts at the age of seven.[1]
