Interpretation Design – Museums & Heritage
Through interpretation, a visitor will hopefully come to more fully appreciate the significance of the place they are visiting. Another aspect of the interpreter’s role is to provide an interesting, entertaining and fun experience for visitors.
I have been lucky enough to have been involved with some really interesting projects, covering wide and varied subjects and have also been lucky enough to have visited an abundance of beautiful and historic properties, both large and small. One more memorable and significant property was Clandon Park following the fire in 2015 where I was honoured to be involved in the post fire interpretation as the property gradually re-opened to the public.
