I love it when museums take on board that you want to know more about their collections other rather wandering around the exhibition and squinting at little cards beside exhibits. Stop that – give your visitor more – give them a nice little audio guide so as they wander the aisles looking at dusty collectors peices they can have a richer experience. A get more out of a visit or even be fully armed with knowledge by the time they arrive.
This is great stuff- they have guides to all sorts – from artwork of the month to guides to their Maritime Museum exhibitions. National Museums Liverpool holds regular free talks and lectures at their venues. Since April 2006, they have been recording many of these talks and making them available for download through the website. Dr Paul O’Keeffe is a great laugh and well worth a listen.
