Museum pop-up at Heritage Fair during its early construction

​

​Come and join me this Saturday

28th of October at Leicester Adult Education I've been invited to put together a pop-up table of the developing museum project. The name of the museum is yet to be announced; I'll be looking for words and thoughts of those who interact with the items and I'd love to talk about it all. I've had a change of heart and thinking regarding its name - partly because as I construct the museum it is becoming more than a "collection" (of things I physically own) but the intention is for it to also be a platform for virtual exhibitions, intangible digital / online curation and other features as it grows.

​There is an irony that a "virtual" museum's first activity will be in the physical world! I may have to drop the virtual notion altogether, that is genuinely a museum but just mainly lives virtually, especially if these become regular with the Documentary Media Centre. I hadn't considered these would exist.

Some of the items I've been sharing on @cap.cow coming with me are in the images here. There'll be books, VHS, comics, toys, Pogs, music + headphones, DVDs, treats. In my last blog I gave a preview on the AI illustrations I'd been creating for the museum found here.

Last weekend going over notes for the museum and relaying that to what I was deciding to take to this inaugural Saturday Heritage Fair. The central book is Cinema Posters of the 60s.
