Sailing to Britain needs you!

In April 2010 the first ever exhibition on Lascars will open at the Museum of Croydon. Drawing inspiration from Sailing to Britain, we would like your help to put the exhibition together! Never curated an exhibition before? The museum’s experts are going to help us…

During the February half term the Museum of Croydon will be hosting
2 exclusive workshops free to Sailing to Britain participants to learn how to create an exhibition.

Activities will include:
A tour of the exhibition space.
Discussion of the key messages the exhibition aims to convey
Selecting the objects and images to fit the space available
Looking at how we will arrange the Sailing to Britain exhibition
Writing text for the captions
Introduction to editing films.
Editing and resizing images.

This is a rare opportunity to learn how exhibitions are put together, and to have your say in how the story of the lascars is told. What do you think it’s important to include?

When? Monday 15th & Tuesday 16th February 2010, 10am – 2pm

Where? Museum of Croydon, Croydon Clocktower, Katharine Street, Croydon, CR9 6ET
