The exhibition that asks visitors to write the last room

Five rooms are curated. The sixth is empty on opening day, and fills with what people leave behind.

This is fictional sample content, created to demonstrate the layout. The places, people and figures in it are invented. It is not reporting.

The conceit could have been gimmicky. It is saved by the first five rooms, which are rigorous, and by the rule governing the sixth: nothing is removed until the show closes.

By week three the final room had about two hundred cards, a drawing, and a bus ticket pinned to the wall with a note explaining why.

The curator says she expected argument and got testimony. Most contributions respond to the fourth room, which deals with a closure in the 1980s.

Free entry. The last room is legible in about twenty minutes, though most people take longer.
