Saying It Differently
Client: London Museums Hub
Project: Saying It Differently: A handbookn for museums refreshing their display
Collaborators: Museums, Libraries and Archives Council
Tim Gardom Associates worked with a range of smaller museums in and around London to develop an approach to redisplay and the use of text to engage new audiences.
Working closely with curators and visitor groups, we helped each museum identify its unique voice and how to use it.
We then wrote up the results of the project into a simple ‘Saying it differently’ handbook for onward use.

We are currently looking for partners and sponsors help with active research to update this project to respond to the new needs, challenges and change in 2020.
