Biji’s Vintage Box: A Walk Through Memory Lane - Museum of Material Memory
In 1972, a family friend gifted this Nutrine box to my maternal uncle for his birthday, and originally it was filled with toffees. As it emptied, like the fate of most chocolate or biscuit tins in South Asian families, my grandmother filled it with sewing accessories - spools of thread brought by my great-grandfather from Singapore many years earlier in 1953.| Museum of Material Memory
