Oliver Watson
Following the installation of a new Gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum showing a single medium - Glass - and called The Glass Gallery, the Curator of Ceramics and Glass at the Museum, Oliver Watson, describes the conception, development and creation of a fully interactive programme 'The Story of Glass'. The initial difficulties for the curatorial staff of coming to terms with the new medium of multimedia are discussed. 'The Story of Glass' is now installed in the Victoria and Albert Museum and in the Corning Museum of Glass in New York and a CD-ROM version has been published for Mac and Windows platforms.
