> Hi all
>
> At Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, we are soon going to be developing a
> gallery called 'Your Birmingham' which will create displays about
> Birmingham people today and their views/ experiences of the city. We will
> be developing content for this gallery through community collecting and
> oral history projects. We are particularly interested in using first
> person
> interpretations in this gallery rather than a curatorial voice.
>
> We are really interested to find out about any museums who have developed
> displays in a similar way in their permanent galleries or temporary
> exhibitions as we are keen to arrange some study trips. A couple of
> examples that have already been suggested to us are Museum of London and
> Croydon. Can you add any more....?

> Many thanks in advance for your help.
