  • THE STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD

    May 2012 | Filed under: Interpretation

    The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest hoard of Anglo Saxon objects ever found – over 3,500 gold and silver objects encrusted with precious stones, that provide a wealth of knowledge about the period as well as raising some thorny questions, not least, why was it hidden.  We helped Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery  to develop interpretation for a new gallery to display the hoard by planning and conducting focus groups with Staffordshire residents, planning and facilitating group discussions with families, visiting the current hoard gallery and helping to draw conclusions from this and other research conducted by museum staff.

     

  • MARY ROSE TRUST

    May 2012 | Filed under: Interpretation

    In April 2012 we helped the Mary Rose Trust by reviewing and proofing proposed text for panels and information in a new exhibition of the Mary Rose.  We hope that we have helped the Trust to achieve the right balance between readability and detail.  The surviving hull of the ship and fourteen thousand artifacts will be displayed in a new £35m building and exhibition, due to open in Portsmouth Dockyard at the end of 2012.
