Folklore - Research

This is a project is entitled The Journeys into Mystery. This project is also being done by a university I Columbia called Universitas Ciputras. The project is short. Everyone has to come up with a poster design using a folklore of our choice. The poster has to be A2 and consist on 150 words of copied body text.

Before I started this project I produced research. Here is my research:

The museum of British Folklore

Overview
The museum of British Folklore currently does not have a building for the public to visit however, the organisation holds a series of exhibitions and events within the UK. Folklore is slang used as a secret language, from school children to guilds and masonic groups. It is the shaping of everyday experience in stories. Folklore involves life values, artfully expressed in myriad forms and interactions. The stories enrich the country and makes us a commonwealth of cultures.
·       The museum of British Folklore wants to celebrate and revitalise the folk heritage of Britain.
·       Provide ways for individuals to discover, understand and explore their own, and other customs and traditions.
·       Encourage greater public involvement in the rich and continuing tradition of folklore as a vital component of the social fabric and cultural identity of the British Isles.
·       Innovative organisation, working within a network of collaborative partnerships across the country.
·       Engaging members of the public through exhibitions, workshops, lectures, pop-up shops and digital platforms.
