Values has been on the agenda once again today with another staff workshop, today's outcomes were: people, learning and excitement. A few interesting questions also came up... Should a museum store things that are never seen by the public? How can we educate the public to handle objects correctly? What is the fine balance between conservation and access?
We've also been finding out what's currently happening in and around GMRC with the Collections' Navigator, in the Access and Education department and on a public tour.
We're currently compiling a list of examples of good practice. These could be open access stores such as at the National Railway Museum, examples of good archiving systems such as the BBC or places which the public can easily navigate around such as Ikea. If you've got any good examples of places that you think do things well, please leave us a comment.
