People are different, and a whole lot less likely to think like professional museum curators than they would like you to believe. Gail Boyle of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery explains how she tries to combine items in the City’s vast collection so that we are free to find connections that are meaningful to us.
The collection includes Roman, Victorian, Eygptian and Inuit artefacts – items from all points in history and geography But sadly, nothing there remains of the giants who founded our city, Goram and Vincent. Their name lives on, however, in the name of our enduring sponsor Goram & Vincent, a creative agency designing beautiful things right here in Bristol, who have supported Ignite Bristol from the very first meeting.
