This website is the major outcome of 'Something for Every Body: Letting Loose the Museumʼs Cross-Cultural Collections of Body Arts and Ornaments', a project funded by a grant of £78,120 from the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council's Designation Development Fund (2010–2011). The grant has enabled the Museum to carry out further research into this important and popular part of its collection, whilst also enriching the Museum's database and improving storage.

The grant has also enabled Museum staff to work with a variety of community partners to create a series of a series of short films and podcasts on body-related topics and issues, such as tattooing, body shape and obesity. In addition, a new collaborative relationship has been formed with Ruskin College, Oxford. This relationship will continue after the project ends, with the two organisations working to enhance learning opportunities through regular voluntary work placements and other shared ventures.
