<div dir="ltr">...and now I'm trying to remember who I "borrowed" it from!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I remember hearing, possibly a number of years ago now, of a museum somewhere in the province that created an exhibit by inviting members of the community to explore its collections, choose an object that resonated with them, and then present the object
in a way that reflected the community member's own perspectives and experiences.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a 40th anniversary coming up here in Creston, and I'm thinking a similar approach could be a really good way of engaging with community members who may not have participated in the museum in the past, work with many different cultural groups, and
look at our collections with new and non-colonial eyes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know this isn't my original idea - I'm definitely taking advantage of someone else's brilliance here. Now I'm wondering if any of you are that brilliant person and, if so, would you be willing to share some strategies and lessons learned with me?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
