This collaboration between the University of Plymouth and Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in the UK, and Lund University and Vasamuseet in Sweden is investigating the multiple hidden connections to gender behind museum objects. These might be connections to individuals - but just as importantly, they might also be about groups of people whose name has been lost to history.
