Museum of kindness, an exhibition to commemorate our 150th anniversary, follows the journey of the British Red Cross through stories of people who have shaped our history and those who are part of our story today. This exhibition catalogue features items from our museum collection, including artworks and posters illustrating our work, creative objects made by people during crises, first aid and medical items, relief equipment, and photographs featuring our volunteers in action. These historical and contemporary items, many on display for the first time, hold memories of humanity, kindness and resilience.
