Energizing the Tour

A follow-up to my last post.  Sent as e-mails to my docent colleagues.

After reflection on what I wrote to you (often get my best ideas from writing things down), I’ve asked two of my leads to let me begin in the 4th gallery.  While touring the Sports Show last year, I had a similar problem with energy, beginning in the room with the smaller photographs.  When I begin using the Zedane video first (the last piece in the show) and going backwards, my tours got recharged.

 

This may be a similar situation.  My hope is that by focusing on what drew people in the first place, their excitement about the tomb and the objects will energize them enough to learn the history of the Qin state.  Also going to be working on my questions.
