National Trust Calke Abbey - HumanKind - University of Leicester
le.ac.uk
HumanKind is a research-led collaboration between the National Trust and the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) at the University of Leicester which explores the unique role that culture and heritage can play in tackling social isolation and loneliness.
HumanKind has revealed how cultural organisations such as museums and historic houses are uniquely placed to help make a difference to those who are lonely or socially isolated. From the very first ‘welcome’, they can model forms of human interaction that are required in the fight against loneliness. Through their interpretation and displays, they can open up thoughtful reflection on the world in which we live and the ways in which many people are struggling to build relationships and find meaning.
The project has created bold new interpretation at the National Trust’s Calke Abbey (2019-20) which tackles the stigma associated with loneliness, prompts reflection and debate on the contemporary issue and invites all of us to make a difference through small, everyday acts of kindness.

Calke Abbey
The National Trust property of Calke Abbey in Derbyshire has a substantial park and we visit here during spring when the Bluebells were at their best.
The Abbey itself is preserved in its decaying state just as it was when the National Trust obtained it, but the park with Deer and extensive woodland is very enjoyable.
HumanKind art installation at Calke Abbey
le.ac.uk
Researchers from the University of Leicester’s Research Centre for Museums and Galleries are working with the National Trust to retell the story of Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, and challenge the stigma around loneliness.
A new exhibition at the country home, HumanKind, which opened on Saturday 2 March 2019, will explore the stories of six inhabitants of Calke and reveal a more complex side to their stories than previous tales of reclusiveness and social isolation.
Visitors will meet the six inhabitants through new displays and audio visual experiences in the modern Family Apartments. In the main house, the ‘time capsule’ rooms are still jam-packed with abandoned collections amassed by the family over generations.
Outside in the landscape, three large steel-framed interpretations of the library, the boudoir and a creative merging of the entrance hall and stableyards represent how the true story of Calke is being brought to life beyond its boundaries for the first time.
This video shows the installation of the interpretation of the library as it was constructed on Monday 25 February 2019.
