Target Audience
This exhibition is primarily aimed at an audience of university students. We felt that they would be fairly educated, and used to engaging with unfamiliar material. Because of this we expect they would enjoy looking at the objects in a different light to what the UCL Museums and Collections offer. Students would be able to learn more about what they are interested in based on the different, complex themes of the tours available. We have added interactive aspects to our collection and would like to introduce forums and activities which would enable further engagement with the objects.
We have decided to make our online collection public as it is an education tool which should not be limited to a select group of people.
