As you may well already know, I\u2019m a <em>tad<\/em> passionate about breaking down barriers in museum, unlocking the display cabinets and allowing people to make their own discoveries. And so, we showed all the hard work we\u2019ve put in to 3D scanning and printing \u2013 perfect for allowing these discoveries!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_625\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-625\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-625 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.tees.ac.uk\/environment\/files\/2019\/09\/20190824_103258-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What a display! 10\/10 if I do say so myself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After a few too many weeks of preparing 3D scans and printing models (sorry to those suffering PTSD after my printer harassment!), we finally produced quite the little display of heads shoved onto pikes.

Visitors progressed through three zones. First, they swiped through the iPads, formulating some ideas as to what really happened to the range of heads. After, they handled the printed models, allowing them to contextualise much of this digitised information. This was key &#8211; it\u2019s really, <em>really,<\/em> difficult explaining the dips in the human head caused by forcing onto the pike without feeling them, otherwise you beg the question &#8220;which dip? Ketchup, guac, garlic mayo?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, visitors finished with a miniature archery range, really shooting home with how amazing Roman archers were (or rather, how abysmally terrible we are now). Sometimes visitors had pretty great aim with the little dinky bows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-622\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.tees.ac.uk\/environment\/files\/2019\/09\/20190903_094927-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"374\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And other times&#8230; it looked like the museum was under attack!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-624\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.tees.ac.uk\/environment\/files\/2019\/09\/20190824_125634-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"566\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Before visitors continued their exploration through the museum, they voted on what they enjoyed the most. Digital models? Printed models? Or, the original museum display? Clearly we evoked some excitement here because some visitors bragged to other people that they absolutely <em>must<\/em> come to our exhibit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yes, I know what (some) of you are thinking. What are the results?! Now now, let\u2019s not get too ahead of ourselves here, there\u2019s a while before we can release those. But for now, here are some juicy quotes, which also make up for the lack of visitor photos because we were SO BUSY:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">\u201cI\u2019m just stopping on a whistle stop tour, what\u2019s all this?\u201d \u2013 30 minutes later \u2013 \u201cmy mind is BLOWN\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Jessie James, aged 32<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">\u201cCan we eat it?
