This pilot will focus on a trail of 4 themed pop up museums which will be run in partnership with the 8 existing museums/heritage centres on Anglesey and Menter Iaith Mn. The pop up museum will need to bolt on to an event or occasion where there are good visitor numbers or in a busy town. Anglesey communities will be given the opportunity to bring personal possessions of heritage and language value to the pop up museum and discuss their items with other people who have contributed and therefore tell their story. Representatives of the sector will also be on hand to help validate and exhibit the objects with a view to the items possibly being loaned to existing providers who are continually in need of keeping what they offer new and fresh to encourage increased footfall and boost the economy of the island.
There would also be 1 additional pop up museum which would collectively bring together all of the existing museums/heritage centres with the addition of Gwynedd Archaeological Trust and the tourism sector to showcase what the island already has to offer. The pilot would need to managed by a contractor who will be hands on in regards to marketing to the community, marketing to the public and arranging and manning the exhibitions, he/she will also be responsible for the evaluation of the pilot and looking at ways of using the experience to further develop the cultural tourism offer for the island.
