BS: So the ideas on the course now, where do they come from? The material, where does it comes from?

TS: This is embroidery. I mean that is that I - the course structure was given to me. I teach a couple of modules on it. One is called Presenting Science and the other one is now called Visitor Studies. I would imagine that the ideas - must have developed from museum studies as it existed in other places. But then the idea was that it should be cast in such a way that it would represent the kinds of activities that go on here that we are best able to present. In order to give students a background that would be useful to them if they work in a place like this. And we've got about 40 graduates of the course by now and a large proportion of them do work in places like this. So it would seem to be quite well judged.
