Perthyn

Perthyn (‘belonging to/possessing’) explored what belonged in Ceredigion Museum’s collection by working closely with the communities it represents, especially those who had not been previously included.

The project used an innovative values-led methodology in partnership with the Common Cause Foundation to assess the significance of the collection.

This approach helped to spark conversations about what mattered to people in Ceredigion, why these things were important, and how the museum’s collections and activities could better support those values. As a result, the project helped improve inclusion, build new audiences, and promote well-being and community cohesion.

The work is ongoing.
