Museum of Everyday Writing

If I were to have a museum of everyday writing it would include things like postcards, handwritten journals, letters, and one of a kind signs or posters. Things that are more personal and not easily repeated. I would have specific rooms dedicated to each type of sentiment. My museum would have a very antique feel and theme to it and it wouldn't have anything on display from decades beyond the 60's. One room would have old post cards within clear displayed covers and on a digital screen the guests would be able to touch it and it would flip a digital image of the card to show you the back. In the other rooms the posters and letters would be displayed on the walls enclosed within clear display cases. Each artifact would have a description under it stating the dates when written, who (if known) wrote it, and a copied quote of the writing. My museum would be several stories. The first being the most recent with writing or posters from the 60’s and each floor above would be from the previous decade. It would also get darker as you go up the building with the displays being lit and your pathway as well making for a very calm and peaceful walk through the museum. This is specifically so that you could solely focus on the sentimental and historical pieces in front of you. At the beginning of each section of writing there will be a plaque describing the importance to everyday writing that each type of display has on us, how it has affected how we see everyday writing and also how it has influenced us.
