Our trip to the Otago Museum!

On Wednesday Room 5 and 6 went to the museum. To look at what to consider when making a display. First we went to the pacific display to look at what the staff look at when putting up displays. They showed us an activity where we had to choose 4 items out of 15 which they wouldn’t have been able to bring when discovering NZ such as Moa eggs, Kererū and whitebait.

He then told us more about the types of things they considered when putting up a display such as did they want dramatic lighting over a certain object or bright lighting over the whole case. Did they want people to touch it or interact with it or if it should be behind glass.
