Empowering lives, transforming narratives
The Lyme Museum (TLM) is a groundbreaking virtual space that transcends traditional narratives, inviting you to explore the lived experiences of invisible illnesses and disabilities.
Our digital museum challenges the conventions of storytelling through a unique collection of flat lay photographs, turning everyday objects into powerful symbols of resilience and identity. Immerse yourself in The Materiality of Invisibility, our inaugural exhibition, and embark on a journey that reinstates materiality, care, and emotion at the heart of dialogues.
TLM is not just a museum; it's a movement, an education hub, and a testament to the power of inclusivity in shaping a more compassionate world.

Guidelines
In addition to being a virtual museum with pop-up exhibitions, The Lyme Museum has developed comprehensive and easy-to-access guidelines that are freely available on TLM website and social media. These guidelines focus on: rethinking materiality in museums, exploring art-based creative methods, creating inclusive physical and virtual spaces, and ensuring that lived experiences are amplified and celebrated.
Accessibility is not a checklist.
Accessibility is a commitment to ongoing accountability, curiosity, and responsiveness.
Please download and read our full guidelines below. We also have a black and white text only copy available.
