Think about stewardship of collections:
- What organisations are doing this well?
- Whose practice do you admire?
- What are they doing?
- What change are they creating?
- What impact are they making?
An example of a museum that has thought about the ethically issues of display and interpretation is the Grant Museum of Zoology, in their current exhibition Displays of Power, where the collections have been reviewed through a lens of empire.
More examples of good and innovative practice can be found in the Museums Journal – understanding which organisations are leading practice in this way can help you innovate your own practice and programming by learning from them.
Reflect on whether this is something that would work in your organisation or your practice?
