Other collections, exhibitions and areas of the museum used by the project
As Realise has progressed, one of the developments has been the access given to many of the participants to temporary exhibitions and to other collections in the Museum apart from Fine Art. While largely unplanned this has been an exciting and challenging addition to the Art Access Project. Mostly brought about by quirks of programming which left few of the Museum's own artworks on public display, this has led to opportunities to, amongst other things, bring individual paintings and drawings out of storage to illustrate talks on, for example, the role of women in Victorian society.
As well as using the Fine Art
collection in this flexible way, which can target the specific
requirements of a particular group, participants in Realise have also
been able to access a wide variety of other objects, ideas and experiences.
This has mainly involved working with the National Gallery touring
exhibition 'Travelling
Companions' - during which an outreach officer from the National
and the Realise co-ordinator led a programme of workshops for a wide
variety of groups - and the World
Cultures and Natural
History collections. There has also been input from the
conservation
department with informal talks given by Alison Hopper-Bishop, the
Keeper of Conservation at the Museum.
