Museum of Everyday Writing
If I were to create a museum of everyday writing, I would definitely create an "All Around the World", or a global/international theme. The museum would include post cards, letters, graffiti, and notes written in different languages and originated from different parts of the world. The walls of the museum would be covered in postcards, organized based on year and country. In this way, visitors can see how a particular area of society has changed over time. Although the post cards may be written in another language, I would make sure to include a translation underneath each postcard so that the visitors can understand what they are reading. Apart from postcards, I would like to incorporate any types of letters and notes to put on display. Above each exhibit, I would attach the flag of the country in which the letter or note was originated. If the country of origin, cannot be determined I would group the letters or notes of the same languages together. Last but not least, I would like to include examples of different graffiti from different parts of the world. These graffiti pictures would be enlarged and attached to the ceiling. Because my museum revolves around the world, I would make sure to build my museum in the shape of a circle, resembling a globe. Everyday writing is seen in all parts of the world, and should be displayed in a similar way.
