Manchester Hermit

Visit the Manchester Hermit blog and explore the thoughts of the Manchester Hermit, who is living in isolation for 40 days and nights in The Manchester Museum's Gothic tower.

Just been reading through this blog and the comments so far. The Hermit has chosen objects from the museum for his own Cabinet of Curiosities and he is choosing an object each day, if no one puts forward a valid reason to keep the object it will be destroyed. 
The comments on the first object, a skull, are interesting and I'm curious to see how they compare to comments about man made objects or inventions, I'm sure they won't provoke the some type of response.
I am not in favour of destroying anything (you never know when you might need it) but an object stored away in a museum vault is as good as, it may never been seen again..................
Why are the objects in the store rooms, someone thought they were worthy of being in a museum, someone else has decided that they aren't as important as other objects
