I saw a very interesting opinion board (good old pencil and paper) on the replica of the East Indiaman 'Amsterdam' in her namesake city, which called for reactions from visitors to the very broad question "What do you think of the ship?" They started people off with a negative comment they had received early on, which described the vessel as a monument to theft and exploitation, with a slightly more neutral comment about replicas elsewhere on the board. They had a lot of responses so it seemed pretty effective. Always an interesting choice about which one you put up to start the opinions rolling in :)
Oh, that's a really interesting approach! Sometimes negative comments are way better conversation starters than the positive. I guess, because we feel more challenged by negative views than supportive or positive ones. Thanks for sharing, Andrew 🙂
Thanks so much for your question and for joining. There are many books on interpretation out there. Is there a specific area of interpretation you're interested in? If you're new to interpretation, I would recommend looking at Eileen Hooper-Greenhill's books and Graham Black´s. They are a good place to start and to return to during your studies 🙂
