Roman Baths

We visited the Roman Baths twice during this project, firstly to walk around the exhibit and take images of how work was displayed and secondly to discuss how they go about displaying the work. Information and work was displayed in many different ways in the exhibit, such as:
- Perspex cabinets with shelving
- Perspex flooring with mummy's or spa water underneath
- Interactive touch screens and pulleys
- Life size statues
- Projections of people
Projectors were used throughout the museum to show what people would be doing around the spas, and also on the walls to display large scale objects or images.




I attended a meeting with the curator of the Roman Baths to talk about some of the temporary displays they hold in the museum. We discussed the costs of creating a display, and how to work around paying a lot of money for them, such has borrowing items to put inside or recreating articles and items yourself. Susan Fox also talked about previous exhibitions they had held and how they overcame problems they had encountered, and also how the events were funded and advertised. The group was then given items in pairs and we had to discuss how we would display the items if we had to display them in our show. Space was a large topic we covered and i felt this would be helpful as many shops have a small amount of room to display my work.
