All sorts of different objects have a story behind them, for example, a scar has a story behind it, how the scar got there and what caused it. A war memorial tells hundreds of stories for the people who are named on it, I have placed a few images of narrative spaces below.
I then went and did some research about how objects can tell stories, I found this interesting article from the British Museum.
To develop narrative structures around objects that successfully communicate with our visitors, we need to understand those visitors. This is a key aspect of interpretation work here at the British Museum – we carry out evaluation that informs and backs up everything we do. We find out things like who our visitors are, how long they spend in a gallery, and the ways they tend to move around the gallery space. All of this information helps us to plan where and how we can best communicate the key messages of our stories to our visitors.
