Museums are known as repositories of culture, where objects — whether artworks, utilitarian items, or anthropological artifacts — tell the stories of different communities. In Getting Personal, the Ulrich invites you to share a piece of your personal story by contributing an object from your life or connection to this area.

From February through the end of the exhibition in December 2025, you can participate in two ways: by submitting an object that holds personal meaning for you or by sharing an object related to Wichita. Each submission should include a short paragraph explaining the object’s significance. Fill out this form to participate.

Our team will review each contribution and follow up with you about the next steps. Selected objects will be displayed at the Ulrich from August through December 2025. All objects will be returned to their owners in January 2026. You may choose to share your story anonymously or with your name — it’s entirely up to you!

The goal of this final phase of the Ulrich Co-Lab is to gather and share the histories of our community, fostering connections and empathy as we reflect on our shared present and past.
