Transcripts
hello my name's anna and i'm a curator
here at preston park museum it's my job
to look after all of the objects in the
museum's collection and here at preston
park we have over a hundred thousand
objects so that's quite a lot of things
to look after and it's my job to make
sure that all of their objects have a
number are catalogued and are stored
correctly so that we can always find
them when we need them anyway so i hear
you guys are curating your own
exhibition at school how exciting well i
hope you realize how much work you've
let yourselves in for so there are lots
of things you'll need to think about and
lots of questions you'll need to ask
yourselves
you'll need to think of answers to these
questions as a team
teamwork is really important and the
best exhibitions will happen when you
all work together the first thing that i
would do is to look for inspiration all
around me i like to visit different
museums and different exhibitions to
find out what people are doing and what
people like to see you're very lucky
that here in the teas valley there are
lots of museums and art galleries that
you could visit you could even come and
see us at preston park museum and you're
very lucky as well because the museum in
your classroom toolkit has its handy
inspiration gallery where you can gather
your ideas and thoughts on what you
might like to put in your exhibition so
one of the most important things you're
going to need to do when planning your
exhibition is deciding what it's going
to be about what is the theme or the
topic that you're going to explore
is it going to be about trains is it
going to be about
the seaside or is it going to be about
world war one
once you've decided what it's going to
be about next you'll need to think of a
title
titles need to be eye-catching and
exciting so they're really tricky to
come up with but they also need to be
able to tell the visitor
what it is they're coming to have a look
at
all of this in just a handful of words
so here are just a few handy tips to get
you started you could try things like
alliteration that's why the sounds at
the start of the word sound the same so
you could try something like
marvelous machines
you could try a funny pun
or maybe even a well-known saying
something like i do like to be beside
the seaside
another good tip is the rule of three so
three words that sound really good
together something like
change in trains maybe the next thing
you're going to need to do is gather all
of your stuff together for your
exhibition as you can see here at the
museum i've got lots of objects i can
lay my hands on but sometimes i don't
quite have the right object or the right
story to tell so i have to go to other
museums or people to borrow their
objects and sometimes if i can't get the
right one i might need to make it
from make a replica say or even
something that would be inspired by that
object once you know what you're going
to put in your exhibition and what it's
going to be about it's time to think
about where you're going to host your
exhibition
here at the museum we have permanent
displays like this one that don't change
and we have temporary exhibition
galleries that we change every so often
depending on what size the objects are
or how many we've got we'll choose a
room that fits so you'll need to think
about where in the room you'll present
your objects and your stories
and all of the text that you've written
about your exhibition
you'll need to think about the people
that are going to come and visit some of
them might be in wheelchairs or some of
them might have buggies to push some of
them might be tall and some of them
might be small
you'll notice here in the museum we try
to make everything accessible to all
people so we have objects and text at
varying different levels i hope you
found my handy tips helpful to planning
your exhibition at school
good luck everyone
you
