The Central and South American collection at the British Museumcollections contains approximately 62, 000 objects, spanning 10, 000 years of human history. The vast majority cannot be displayed, and those objects are the subject of Untold Microcosms, a collection of ten stories from ten Latin American writers, and inspired by the narratives about our past that we create through museums, in spite of their gaps and disarticulations.
