Museum on the Move 2010 - 2011
Folklore and Fairytales
Museum on the Move will be touring in Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin from:
8 June 2010 - 9 August 2010
and
2 November 2010 - 25 February 2011
This is a new interactive, multi sensory exhibition which looks at the richness of the folklore and fairytales in Shropshire
The exhibition presents how folklore and fairytales were used to explain the natural world and landscape.
How the tales connect us with 'Other Worlds' , the fairy realm and mythical creatures.
How folklore and fairytales were used to 'guide us' or control us.
How superstitions and myths arose from events in everyday life.
The exhibition is accompanied by two experienced Museum Interpreters and is designed to appeal to all ages. For school visits there are curriculum links to subject areas for all key stages and the exhibition is suitable for pupils with special educational needs. Two handling boxes are available for use in the classroom or venue.
The cost of each visit is heavily subsidised by Renaissance, West Midlands.
Museum on the Move is aimed at bringing imaginative and stimulating displays to isolated rural areas. It provides a community based museum service that improves access to museums and helps to promote lasting relationships between local communities and their museums.
All staff are trained to drive the vehicle and to interpret the exhibition on board. We can visit schools and training centres, day centres and sheltered housing schemes, village centres, hospitals, youth centres, shopping centres and special events.
