Kesite’tasikl, meaning ‘they are cherished,’ offers a glimpse into the varied collections of the Nova Scotia Museum and private citizens. Why do we collect? There are almost as many answers to this question as collectors. Every object has a unique story, just as each person has theirs. Many “things” have a life, like us. They are created, age, and wear away. However, some things can live forever. In some small way, we feel we can tie a part of ourselves to these things. Through collecting, we show our gratitude, and appreciation, value history, and sense the humanity in each object.
