Several years ago Stevenage Museum went through a very interesting
process inviting potential visitors to a mocked up version of their new
gallery very cheaply using photocopies. LT Museum also did an
evaluation of our proposed new displays using a mock up of a part of the
proposed gallery. In both cases useful lessons were learnt and the
actual display was much changed from the original plans.

Hi all
I was just wondering if you, or a fellow museum colleague, have either
determined 1) the overall theme of an exhibition or 2) content,
interpretation, design etc of an exhibition through consultation with
community groups or community organisations.
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery are soon to be working on an
exhibition
which will focus heavily on community consultation and I am interested
to
hear how other museum colleagues have gone about the consultation
process,
what sort of exhibitions you have produced and at what stages in the
process you have involved community groups (or if they have helped
manage
the whole process)
I am particularly interested in history exhibitions though would welcome
information about other exhibitions too!
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
Best wishes
Liz
