Art history is not just in museums, it is everywhere, if you want to see it. Bring an object to the Art History Conjurer stand, and discover what art history facts are hidden in it. Sara can use any object you bring (as long as it isn't a picture of an artwork, or an artwork itself) to develop a story linked to art history. Offer an object from your pocket or bag, or bring a chosen object with you, from the very mundane to the unique and weird.
