The Polar Muse
Wed 24 September 2014 - Sat 20 December 2014
The Polar Museum
The Polar Muse is a collaboration between The Polar Museum, PN Review and eight of Cambridge's most exciting and innovative poets. The poets have been commissioned to select an object from the collection as inspiration for a new poem, and given access to the full breadth of the Scott Polar Research Institute's library and archive resources to conduct research. From 24 September, their poems will be presented on the glass of the display cases, in front of the object about which they are written, as an added layer of curation and interpretation. The Polar Muse seeks to harness the power of poetry to do what conventional museum interpretation can't do: to engage with objects imaginatively, going beyond the handful of facts you can fit on a musuem label.
The project is funded by Arts Council England.
