I really like the overlapping collage of images in this one, and the relative lack of interpretation. Tangentially, it reminds me of my (shamefully recent discovery of) Kate Bagnall and Tim Sherratt's The Real Face of White Australia:
http://invisibleaustralians.org/faces/
which might not be 'highly curated' or 'story-telling' but achieves quite an extraordinary effect through the cumulative presentation of archival images.

Hi all,
Loving this thread. Such a useful resource.
I'm going to throw in my pet project from my days at the V&A. The Museum of Savage Beauty

Best,

Hi all
Wondering what your favourite (museumy) sites are when it come to using objects in a rich, highly curated, story-telling kind of way?
Obviously the Wellcome Collection "Digital Stories" are on the list (
http://digitalstories.wellcomecollection.org/) - but what others?
cheers!
Mike
