Just a quick update this evening. I’ve signed up to the University of Leicester Museum Studies MA MOOC ‘behind the scenes at the 21st Century Museum’. Today I got a little more under the skin of the re-interpretation, understanding how the project has been conceived and how the feedback on the Project Lab had been actualised into the final solution.

Things are still very much in flux. Like I said before, because the work has to be completed during closed hours, so we are essentially double handling in places – taking some items out of cabinets to put them back in again.

The vinyls are gradually being replaced for plain white backgrounds and the prototype stands made from acrylics are being used to display some of the items in the week between work sessions to give the public a chance to feed back and the experience to bed in – for both the co-production team, other staff and visitors.

Today I assisted with some packing and organising storage. As well as trying to document the process more, as you shall see below.
