The Sensational Museum is delighted to announce The Living Barracks project, at Berwick Barracks, as an additional pilot museum.
The Living Barracks project at Berwick Barracks brings together four organisations, English Heritage, The Maltings (Berwick) Trust, the King’s Own Scottish Borderers regiment, and Northumberland County Council, to reawaken this landmark site as a cultural and creative hub: a place of pride and belonging for both the King’s Own Scottish Borderers Regiment and the wider Berwick community.
The Living Barracks will join a group of ten other pilot museums in testing sensational prototypes. These prototype resources have been recently developed by The Sensational Museum, its project partners, and industry professionals. By using these tools, the museum will explore new and exciting ways of working in a multisensory way, to benefit both museum staff working behind the scenes, and visitors to the sites.
The Living Barracks will be involved in both the Collections and the Communications strand; it will be testing multi-sensory ways of working with collection records, and testing a process to produce multi-sensory museum experiences.
You can find a full list of all our brilliant pilot museums on the pilot museum announcement blogpost.
