Dear panellists, thanks to you all for a great set of papers – I very much enjoyed them. I wondered if any of you had a sense of, or had researched in depth, the responses of visitors to reconstructed/historic museum displays? I get a sense that some museums fear that their audiences are less interested in institutional histories and the material remnants of museum pasts (apart from the occasional ‘great white male’ museum founder of course!) With some prominent exceptions, including those featured in your papers, they feel that they need to prioritise the ‘proper’ objects they collect and display. However, I suspect (and hope!) that this might not be true. Laura – from your images – it is clear that the participants in the reconstructions of the Model were having a great time, but (how) did they engage with this as a historic reconstruction , do you think? Thanks again, Claire Wintle
