Hi Jules and everyone, I would recommend the Making Museums website from Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum. It's been going for over a decade and won the Clore Learning Prize in 2011. Museum staff work with local primary schools to learn about how museums work and what happens to objects in their journey to going on display and then create their own museum back at school. The resources section of the website has notes for teachers on how to set up their own museum at school and there are plenty of images of school museums to inspire them. http://www.museums.ox.ac.uk/makingmuseums/ Kim Biddulph Director, Schools Prehistory www.schoolsprehistory.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: Jules Kensett Wooding To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2014 10:07 AM Subject: Exhibition hints/suggestions/guidelines for schools/community groups Greetings All I wondered if any of you lovely folk out there in GEM-land had any notes, guidelines, helpful hints that you give out to schools/community groups to help them with putting on a small display/exhibition? I am keen to give this a more professional approach (therefore reflecting how we approach our exhibitions!) and get groups thinking its not all laminated sheets and blu-tac! Can anyone offer me any assistance please? Eternally grateful, as always. Time for a brew as I await the influx of replies...
