Info

Many of the pages are illustrated with resources from Leicestershire’s Open Museum loans collections, and the resource’s name, and, where appropriate, catalogue number, have been included. You can order these specific resources from the Open Museum if you work in Leicester or Leicestershire; however they are just given as suggestions. Other museum resources, objects and images will be just as appropriate. (See Section D - Museum Resources Available in the East Midlands for further information on museum loans schemes). Remember, it’s often our everyday objects that become museum objects, so if you cannot obtain museum objects don’t panic. The exercises work just as well with objects you can find yourself. Similarly, where original artworks are used, reproductions such as postcards or posters can be just as effective. (See Section B for guidance on how to choose resources).
