the People's History Museum is only about 10 mins walk from the Centenary Building so I got down there yesterday late afternoon for the last hour before it closed. I thought it was great. Possibly the combination of the content - with which I have a lot of sympathy - and the, I thought, well designed displays and interactives. The text is large and there's not too much of it and the themes are easy to follow. I struggled a bit finding my way round though, there seemed to be some parts you should not go into ... but then you had to to get into another gallery...
I loved the top floor with the banners and took lots of pics on my phone but for some reason my card reader won't work just now so I can't upload any.
What did intrigue me was the gallery of photos of demonstrations - or as one of the gallery guides said to me ' the pictures of the police beating people up'. (Not really how the gallery means it to be seen I thought!) What issues does this raise for the depiction of the police at the Police Museum? Could the two be brought together?
just a thought!

An interesting place indeed. What particularly impressed me when we visited last week was the way the museum deftly presented the sensitive issues it was dealing with – protest, democracy, social justice, social justice movements etc – without being overtly political and taking a ‘position’ on them. Interesting branding. Made me think about the role – or otherwise – of museums to and material culture more generally to actively campaign on issues. I particularly liked the interactive video thingy at the close of the exhibition. Made me think about the way some museums are deploying self perpetuating marketing strategies – like the Damien Hirst’s For the Love of God (www.fortheloveofgod.nl) microsite at the Rijksmuseum which uses visitor vox pops as a way of extending reach to new audiences.
very very interesting places.

The first P90x Workout week I was in pain. Not the type of pain that would prevent me from working out the next day, it was more like a dull muscle ache Px90 Workout. I felt it was a good sign, my muscles were being challanged to grow and strengthen Beats by Dre Headphones. I didn��t have any trouble going to sleep the first week, as a matter of fact I went to bed an hour and a half earlier than I had the weeks before P90X Beats by Dre. One of the reasons I went to bed early was that the only time I had to workout without distractions or interruptions was at 5:30 in the morning Beats by Dre Earphones. In the past I had done my workouts at night, but I would often feel to tired to workout or make excuses to myself for not lifting weights that evening Px90. Those excuses over the years have really put on the pounds.
