10 Most Wanted
This exhibition celebrates 10 Most Wanted, an online detective game
played with objects in museum collections, inspired by the FBI's Ten
Most Wanted list.
Players referred to as 'Agents' hunt down specific pieces of 'wanted'
information about an object of their choice from ten objects posted by
curators referred to as 'HQ Staff' on the game's website.
They share their findings on social networks working in collaboration
with other Agents, who are both their colleagues and competitors. As
'wanted' facts are found and evidenced, they are integrated with curated
collection documentation. The Agents who have tracked down the
information move up the hierarchy and are rewarded for their
contributions.
Louise Dennis (Assisant Curator)
