During the first day of our performance we are going to be cataloguing the broken pieces of crockery.
In order for the cataloguing to be at the same standard as the curating that is done at the museum, we have decided to do things.
Firstly, simply research cataloguing. Find books explaining methods and listing categories and from that create our own cataloguing system.
I found a website breaking down the cataloguing system into chapters which has proved complex yet helpful.

Secondly, witness and possibly be apart of the curating done at the museum. During our pitches Ash mentions a chain of command system, in which only certain people can hold certain items and precautions have to be taken before touching any items. He invited us as group to come to the museum when this process is expected to be carried out next week.
By engaging in the curating process and also researching it, this will increase the standard and therefore make the process more interesting, more engaging for the audience.
