Learn more on the Queering the Museum website. External LinkQueering the MuseumWhat do you think?The meaning of an object is never fixed, but rather, is open to interpretation. When we encounter objects we bring to those encounters a history which is both culturally shared and particular to us. Museums tend to ignore this and instead to offer single interpretations of objects. This object is one of a number chosen from the State History Collection to appear in a project entitled Queering the Museum. The project invites users to upload their own interpretation of or response to a chosen object. Users can also provide links to things that inform their interpretations or responses (for example, video clips, photographs, sound tracks, artworks). Through this process we open up space for multiple interpretations.
