THE MUSEUM OF WRITING INSTRUMENTS The goal of this project was to conceptually create our own museum. We were to choose and research the subject matter, assemble a physical collection, and then curate and design an exhibition from the collection. Proposed Site: The Morgan Library, NY Museum Mission The Museum of Writing Instruments seeks to inspire understanding and appreciation of hand writing instruments and their evolution, as well as their significance in human life. The Collection What is special about the collection is not the rarity or monetary value of each piece, but rather its accessibility. The entire collection is out on display, where the public is able to directly experiment with each unique way of writing.
-Visitors are invited to experience the unique feel of different writing implements at a central table.
-A glass box in the center of the table allows for some of the most iconic pieces to be displayed.
