The Museum Box site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life; the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier; or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others. The project was inspired by anti-slavery campaigner Thomas Clarkson who carried a museum box with him to display artifacts of the realities of slavery.
