Collections Outreach Research and Pilot Scheme -
Consultation
Torfaen
County Borough Council in partnership with Torfaen Museum Trust are seeking a
consultant to undertake a Torfaen Borough collections outreach assessment and
pilot touring exhibition.
The aim of the commission is to research the
collections held at the Museum Trust and identify objects suitable for display
at alternative community and heritage locations throughout the Borough, both
through touring exhibitions and through more long term
display.
The consultation will include an assessment of the collections held by
the Trust including research into the most appropriate local historical themes
for collection outreach and an assessment of collection items, their
significance and suitability for outreach.
An appraisal of the potential venues / locations
which could display the identified collection items should then be undertaken.
The development and implementation of a small, touring pilot display to evaluate
the potential for more long term displays will be part of this process.
An assessment of the display conditions and equipment required (e.g space / cases conservation requirements / environmental control / monitoring) for the longer term displays will be a requirement of the commission.
Further details, a copy of the brief and
any informal discussion of the commission can be obtained
from;
Claire Dovey-Evans – Museum &
Heritage Development Officer, TCBC 01633 648029.
Further details on the collections can

Deborah Wildgust, Curator,
Closing date for receipt of fee bids is Monday 27th June 2011.
