London Transport Museum's Depot in Acton is a treasure trove of vehicles, objects and artworks galore. As the site is a working store, adding labels or other forms of permanent interpretation to objects on display is a challenge as things are moved around or used by curators on a regular basis.
Community curator Jen Kavanagh has been working in partnership with the Museum's Friends and volunteers to trial out a new form of interpretation. Named 'Depot Discoveries', the project aims to capture on camera interesting stories and professional knowledge about a range of items in our collection. These videos will then be accessible at the Depot via QR codes on small labels. We hope to roll the project out to a range of objects in the coming months.
