The redisplay of the Alexander Keiller Museum, Avebury, and the National Curriculum in England

A successful redesign of the Alexander Keiller Museum in Avebury, England, demonstrates how museum exhibits can effectively align with the National Curriculum while maintaining educational engagement for schoolchildren. The redisplay leveraged the site's prehistoric significance to create an appealing and informative experience, catering to over 11,000 annual young visitors despite curriculum constraints that limit time for prehistoric studies. The approach prioritized relevance to the National Curriculum, ensuring both academic compliance and public appeal without compromising educational depth or scientific accuracy.
