Hi Liz,
We are undertaking this approach in small focussed areas of exhibitions
in the main galleries planned for the new Museum of Liverpool. I would
be happy to discuss with you.

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.
Best wishes
Liz
