Hands On History award nomination
I'm really pleased that Hull's Hands On History museum has been longlisted for the prestigious Kids in Museums award, four months after the new Victorian gallery opened at the end of October 2010. The gallery was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the 'Lessons Learned - Lessons for Life' project and was developed after extensive consultation with teachers and families. The team in Hull did a fantastic job of developing an interactive, audience-focused gallery on a shoestring budget and it's great to see their efforts recognised.
Kids in Museums is the only museum award voted for by families. There are 20 museums on the longlist and the winner will be chosen after mystery visits by families to all the sites nominated.
I'm currently finishing the evaluation report for the Victorian gallery redevelopment which I project managed on behalf of the Hull Museum Education team. Read more about the project here. It's not long since Medicine at the Movies, which I managed for the UK Medical Collections Group, won a Jodi Award for digital access and inclusion. Fingers crossed for the shortlisting process this time around!
