About

Object of the Month

For Black History Month, Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage has been invited by Leicester Museums to choose its Object of the Month. The team has chosen a set of Ashanti weights from the collection, and an accompanying information pack has been produced that expands on the provenance and history of the items.

The Ashanti weights can be seen in person throughout October at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery on the first floor.
