Talking Objects was a project with UCL Museums and UCL East, in which east London summer school students worked with Skewbald Theatre and the collections of the Grant Museum of Zoology, the Petrie Museum and UCL Art Museum to create stories, plays and artwork about museums and collecting.

Growing out of UCL's The Museum is Where the People Are project and taking place over the summer of 2016, Talking Objects culminated in two days of performance and family activities at the Timber Lodge in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
