Take This Token
Foundling MuseumHow can such tiny objects hold so much meaning?
Hear personal stories, historical insights and creative responses – all inspired by the Foundling tokens.
The Founding Hospital was one of Britain's first children's homes established in London in 1739. In its early days, anyone giving a baby into its care would also leave a token. These precious, emotionally-charged objects are on display today at the Foundling Museum in London. We talk to people with a connection to the Museum who take one token and share what they know, what they feel and what they imagine.
