Lorna, Tony, Ashley and Mike went to Bridport museum to check out the Spinning Yarns exhibition that uses portraits, audio and video like our exhibition might. Plus it has a timeline running around the whole museum. We were impressed. But it looks expensive!
The film on a TV stuck into the wall was triggered to play when you sat down on a bench by an overhead sound devise that looked like a lamp shade! They had artefacts displayed in numbered glass boxes with audio stories relating to each one that you could listen to on a metal telephone device. We could display the history of youth club tuckshops with people reminiscing about their favourite Refresher experience!
And we impressed them. Ashley caused a stir arriving in his skull joker sweatshirt but impressed the volunteer staff with his knowledge of the Romans and that he is a student forge worker. They told us to get in touch with the Bridport archive staff and they could help us. Go and check out Bridport Museum when it reopens in the spring. It is free and there is an amazing cake shop up the road! http://www.bridportmuseum.co.uk/
