A personal perspective
A family archive offers a clearly defined view of a larger subject. Pay attention to who made the material and what meaning the presentation attaches to it, without generalising each story.
Art alongside documents
Visual art and archive material can raise different questions. Leave room for both: an artwork need not do the same as a document that records an event or a person.
Discussing the present too
Democracy and the rule of law are mentioned as educational subjects. The museum’s explanation can help you understand how these themes are addressed within this personal presentation.
Before you go
The museum is in a semi-basement. Discuss accessibility in advance and check for occasional closures, even if you come on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday when it is normally open.
