We suggest always having guides to explain details, because it is in the detail where there is most interest. Repeat visit vouchers that encourage young people to bring a friend or two would also help. Also, a lot of information about exhibits is not related to the actual experience of young people and this is a major cause of 'boredom'. We suggest including domestic details as well as grand political strategy. Young people are also interested in 'what if' issues that might have affected them.
Many museums have things that are just presented as works of craftsmanship.
They look impressive but no one seeing them has the slightest idea of how they were made. Demonstrations of particular crafts, with opportunities to try it yourself would be interesting. There should be many more opportunities to do something rather than just look and read. At most collections it is impossible to touch items because of the risk of damage or theft but things made of metal or wood could easily be handled or operated if done under proper supervision of craftsmanship but the skills and techniques involved are not immediately obvious. Demonstrations of these crafts, with opportunities to try it yourself would be interesting and help people to appreciate the importance and value of an exhibit.
