Justice museum

 I've been accepted as a voulenteer at the justice museum and today I went for an induction which also included a tour.

I am fascinated by this museum. The building is a mesh of many years of progress. The oldest parts being the caves under ground that were used in medevil times as cells and then its been added to and built upon through to victorian times. 

It was great to get the guided tour. So much history and objects. I love the victorian matron characters.

I thinkits great how they bring the museum to life with character actors and court room re ancmnts.

I've been signed up to the learning voulenteer, I will assist with facilitating workshops for school children and older students

I wanted to be more involved with the curation and gallery side but there is more demand for help with education visits. It's still a way to spend time in the building and gain workshop experience.

The current free exhibition is great. I'll talk about that in a separate post.

In regards to my practice and this project there is a wealth of local history here, social justice and injustice and its also very macabre and fits in with my folk devil theme.  Desperate places heaven and hell, good and evil, trial and retribution.

I feel super e cited and overwhelmed by all the museu cousins. I Hope that along with thr learning work dhoos I'll be a

Able to send some reflective time in the museum to reseach for my project and also get to speak to curator and other staff to gain primary reseach fir my report and learn about the museum environment.
