https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1ee1yw8ro
When Poole Museum reopens visitors will once again be able to see Bethan's Rock - a treasured stone donated by a five-year-old girl - alongside its other artefacts The rock became a popular exhibit after the museum placed it in a glass case, complete with its own "Bethan's Rock – 2019," label. Bethan, now 11, said it was given to her by her late grandmother, "who was the one who found that rock... it's really special to me because of her". The museum's curator Gary Edwards said: "Treasures don't have to be rare, they don't have to be significant to everybody it's about the deeper meaning connected to those objects."
