Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery

Curation/ Theme/ Content- The content of the gallery includes Shropshire’s history through art and sculptures. Roman, Tudor and Stuart Galleries are included. Throughout the week, special events and activities happen to get families involved.

Target Audience- Aimed at other artists who are looking for inspiration, tourists and young people through the internet. The artwork captures a wide range of people as his work is so broad, different styles and time. As there was no admission fees it would be more appealing to people as it’s a free place to visit.

Promotion- People in the city and educational establishments would’ve been involved. The promotion of the Museum could have also been featured in newspapers or even on photography websites. Promotion of the the Art Gallery and Museum could be on the radio or have representatives being involved in interviews.

Realisation and Display- The artwork shows diversity and gives a sense of a good strong community. The people involved in the photographs show individuality and the colours are mostly bright and colourful within his collection. Parr’s work is displayed in chronological order and are shown in a vast amount of space. The displays are inconsistent as some appear to be scattered along the wall whereas some collections are tightly packed together. There was one collection of couples that was interactive, drawing more people in to viewing his work.

Budget and Funding- The exhibition was not funded by the admission fees as there was free entry to the event. However, funding possibly could’ve came from self merchandise which were sold in the shop- this including books and tote bags. Donations made to the Museum also help fund the on going development Gallery.

Legal/Ethical Considerations- Health and Safety of the displays of the artwork must’ve been taken into consideration and disabled access for people in wheelchairs etc must’ve been also checked. Volunteer security monitors were also taken place throughout the Museum.
