We have a new collection! The archive of Janet Hodgson is on its way to the freezer and then to the reading room very soon! 👏
Leeds Museums & Galleries@LeedsMuseums22 Feb 2023
This is our lovely new acquisition. It’s the archive of Janet Hodgson, who was an artist that explored ideas of time, history and archaeology 👩‍🎨 And it gives us a lovely excuse to nip down and show you how the freezer works. An utter thrill.
A stack of plastic boxes on top of each other on a red trolley. The boxes contain lots of files and papers.

An industrial walk in freezer. It’s quite empty inside, but has cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other and wrapped in polythene, and packaging plinths leaning against the walls.
