Portable Museums

This is a possible way of curating my work. It would also serve as a way of encouraging feedback and participation from a range of audiences. Moseley Society Local History group is currently running a project called 'What Moseley Means To Me', they are trying to gather reminiscences from local people of all ages. They hope to collect photos and objects with accompanying captions.  A portable museum could be taken to schools, care homes and displayed in shops and pubs. People could add their own memories, stories and even objects.




Images above show work by Ron Pippin, Joseph Cornell and Marcel Duchamp. Below is a project by artist Joanne B Karr and Joanne Howdle, curator of Caithness Horizons Museum. It is inspired by the life and work of 19th century amateur botanist Robert Dick.
