The Royal Albert Memorial Museum features in a recent museum survey about Aztec collections. Ian Mursell of the Mexicolore website has this to say about their survey;
It’s out! Thanks to the steadfast efforts of Newcastle University Museum Studies postgraduate student Stacey Home, we’re finally able to upload the results of her survey, carried out last year, of Aztec objects in museums around Britain and of public attitudes towards the Aztecs (Mexica).
Not only is this the first such survey - that we’re aware of - of its kind in this country, and the results by themselves will be of great interest, but we are already planning to build on them in a rather innovative way.
• This survey is by no means comprehensive; it does however contain some delightful surprises...
• You can read the full results by clicking on the PDF file at the bottom of the page
• You can read more of the background to the attitudes survey - and indeed see the original survey questions - by following the link (above) to our ‘Getting Involved’ page.
