Waters Rising at Perth Museum

Waters Rising traces stories and objects connected to flooding from Scotland and abroad, from biblical accounts to Ancient Egypt to North America, and more recent events closer to home. Exploring the growing threat of the global climate emergency whilst examining the impact of flooding and extreme weather events on communities, businesses, and infrastructure in Perth and Kinross, the exhibition also includes photos, memories, and stories from local people.
Perth Museum are inviting the public to submit photographs of flooding in their local area. Photos can be emailed to collections@culturepk.org.uk. Images must be less than 25Mb.
The photos will create part of a central display displaying the community’s lived experiences. Alongside this, Perth Museum are also inviting the public to share memories, handwritten onto postcards created by the museum.
