Exhibition: Curator v Chaos
Included in entry to Museum
We need your help!
We’ve dug lots of paintings out of our stores.
The selection is random but gives a taste of what we usually have to keep behind closed doors.
We want to create better exhibitions in the future, so when you visit, we want you tell us:
- Which paintings should we keep?
- What should we do with the ones we don’t want?
- What should we replace them with in the future?
In other words, if you were the curator, what would you do?
This exhibition is part of our big project: ‘The Right Stuff’ : which is helping us declutter our stores and collect better objects and more interesting stories in the future.
Follow the story so far, and tell us your ideas- what would you chuck, and what would you cherish?
