Open Museums, Open Minds
Council is seeking your input and feedback around options for museum experiences in Maitland.
People seek to experience history and culture in diverse ways and not all museum experiences have walls. A museum experience could be an interpretive walk, a pop up creative installation, an open day around a series of buildings, temporary displays, collections or a series of monuments that can be found at different locations around a city. These experiences are more broadly referred to as an open air museum or open museum experience.
A number of groups in Maitland, including Council, are already offering open museum style experiences, including events, history tours, heritage buildings, local library studies and local history programs, Maitland Gaol tours, Maitland Hall of Fame and more.
From now until October 2017 we are inviting you to share your thoughts on areas of Maitland’s heritage that interest you and the types of ways you would like to experience our history.
