Analogue Camera - Celebrating National Poetry Day 2022
The Science Museum Group is celebrating National Poetry Day for a second year (6 October 2022).
We invited poets to write a piece inspired by the extraordinary, unusual, and beautiful objects in our collection. In response to our invitation, we received 50 outstanding poems, all incredibly creative and also considered, heart-breaking and funny.
You can read our finalists’ poems below. Thanks to everyone who participated this year – it made selecting our final list for publication quite hard.
