Rachel the Curator The Exhibitionists

The Exhibitionists

World Museum Liverpool

Hello. Welcome to our behind the scenes tour of National Museums Liverpool. I’m Rachel, a curator [Someone who looks after the objects in a museum. The objects are usually divided into categories and we have a curator for each group, eg curator of British art, curator of birds and mammals, curator of the aquarium] here.

Today I’ll show you how we create a temporary exhibition. You will see lots of things that are usually hidden from the public.

Along the way you can have a go at some puzzles - they're the stages we go through to create a successful exhibition. It's okay if you don't want to do the puzzles - just enjoy the tour.

If everyone’s ready we’ll begin.
