It didn't go quite to plan, but I did visit three of the four places listed in my last post, and an extra one instead.
Sticking with the idea of steering clear of the regular art exhibitions, I started off with a visit to the Colchester Castle Museum, followed by the Natural History Museum. Colchester Castle was home to a great number of historical artefacts based on the Roman Invasion.
The castle park itself (the grounds as well as just the castle building) we found had a sense of exhibition to it also, with maps of the grounds pointing to extra little pieces like this gate with some information:
The Natural History museum had fantastic displays and models of wildlife, whether it be models of rare breeds of bird, to a cat sitting in a window of a house, to a fossil of a whale or a crocodile's skull.
In the Castle, I found the arrangement to be very directional at first, although the guidance was sort of lost when you headed upstairs because there were multiple ways to go.
However the Natural History Museum was very open and you could choose where you wanted to go and what you wanted to look at at anytime.
This was a great contrast between layouts and both give interesting ideas as inspiration for a floorplan.
