Testing the Sensory Artworks, Digital Picture Frame

Kate installed the digital picture frame in the Blue Drawing Room. The picture frame showed pictures of members of the Access to Heritage Group dressed in Victorian style by the piano in the Blue Drawing Room. The slide show is accompanied by piano music Les Hirondelles sung by Joan Sutherland.
Carolyn's feedback from the Access to Heritage group testing sessions:-
The group all loved the photo frame especially the models who thought it was marvellous!!!
The photo frame was enjoyed by its sound rather than the images by the students from the School for the Blind. I let Mark hold it on his knee just so he understood where the sound was coming from.

The Access to Heritage project was developed in 2005 to research into access to interpretation in museums and other heritage type venues for people with learning disabilities. The project aims to find out why people with learning disabilities don't visit Hertitage venues and how we can make their visits positive and memorable experiences. The Access to Heritage forum which includes representatives from three day centres and a school, have made a film about our work, produced a report made our own multi sensory exhibition and worked with designers on St George's Hall Liverpool new visitor centre.The project is lead by the forum members who have become experienced 'access consultants', regularly visiting museums, galleries and old buildings using a variety of methods to get feedback. We are currently working with Speke Hall, The National Wildflower Centre and National Museums Liverpool on the new Museum of Liverpool.
