Hi

Here in NZ at the Auckland Museum they have set up a cluedo experience. A crime scene and four suspects. In the home or lab of the four suspects are clues set among museum objects and material. Much of it from reserve collections. The theme is poisoners--the victim was poisoned. The suspects have CVs and well drawn characters. Wonderful

Dear Gem list members
I thought you might be interested to hear of this new website which
was designed to attract new audiences to look at museum objects-

Heritage 100 (www.heritage100.org.uk) is an interactive website that
has revolutionised the way the public can access items gathered
together from museums and archives across Hampshire and the Isle of
Wight.

100 fascinating objects from over twenty museums and archives in the
South are featured on the site. These include the oldest wedding cake
in the world, baked in 1898 in Basingstoke, and the Bluebird Proteus,
the car that set the land speed record in 1960, now held in The
National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.

The site was advertised on buses and train stations using QR codes and
has received over 18,000 hits so far. It has been accompanied by an
outreach project and is one of a number of Hampshire- Solent Alliance
Renaissance funded projects.

Best wishes
Ruth Taylor
Hampshire-Solent Alliance Project Manager
