Ordinary Objects, Extraordinary Lives (55+)

Join The Compassion Museum in a guided, interactive art experience that invites curiosity, reflection, and meaningful conversation.

A lucky charm. A recipe card. A train ticket. A note tucked in a drawer for years. What can ordinary objects reveal about the strange, funny, surprising, and deeply human lives we lead?

Bring an everyday object with a story – something that says something about you - and help create a one-night, community-built exhibit shaped by the people in the room. Through conversation, curiosity, and shared stories, participants will discover unexpected connections, moments of recognition, and the threads of humanity that connect us all.


Warm, thoughtful, and participatory — no museum experience required! Come curious and ready to share.


If event is sold out, please sign up for the wait list. We will contact you if more tickets become available.
