And how should museum's display controversial artefacts and images?
It's an ongoing debate as we saw with the Colston statue in Bristol.
At the museum we feel we need to reflect all of the history of the club "warts and all".
This item was recently on display in the boardroom. Now we have it.
The question is where in the museum should we display it? The ladies or the gents?
Discuss.

You can’t ignore history, even if you don’t like it, why he had a picture in the boardroom at all, says it all really, certainly an evocative picture.
Just out of interest, have the new owners put their picture(s) up yet, is it a directors tradition?3 -
Perhaps alongside pictures of Lyle Taylor, Marcus Bent, Alan Mullery, Danny Murphy and anyone else who ultimately had egos far in excess of their talent.7

No Matt Southall picture? Surely an omission error0

From day 1 it was clear he had a ridiculous ego and it wouldn’t end well but I just can’t hate the guy. He genuinely saved us from a nightmare situation, kept the club afloat out of his own pocket. Ok we didn’t move forward but at least there’s still a club to support. I’ve no problem with him being part of the club’s history even if now happy to see him gone.If there ever were a wall of shame he definitely wouldn’t deserve to be anywhere near portraits of Southall and Roland.24

Like it or not, it’s part of our history. We’ve had worse than Thomas Sandgaard associated with us.6

It’s our history, we can’t ignore it. How about pictures of all the owners, and a brief description of their legacy?5

As long as you don't put up a statue you should be fine. Otherwise expect to be fishing it out of the Thames shortly.CharltonAthMuseum said:And how should museum's display controversial artefacts and images?

Seriously though I think warts and all is good - there is complexity in most situations, TS had both good and bad points and it will be an interesting time to look back on. Also, he wasn't responsible for mass murder or the enslavement of populations so probably an explanatory paragraph would do.
Together with one of those buttons you can press which plays "Addicks to victory" when pressed.1 -
Funny, never noticed before how small and close together his eyes are.0

That’s not your problem. You need to plan ahead for how you will accommodate the current raft of investors in due course 😆CharltonAthMuseum said:And how should museum's display controversial artefacts and images?

It's an exhibit concerning our history, like any other, so deserves to be preserved. Not one that anyone would particularly want to see of course...

I’m loving the idea, of a two for one 1 at the museum.
Ie, ‘the picture on the wall, with a dirty great button underneath it, which when pushed blasts out a rendition of ‘We need a battle cry’ it would like being sent to room 101!1 -
It's a way of charging a fortune for tomatoes.0

I think it's a bit of a stretch to compare a man who's ego ultimately existed his talent to Colston who helped to inflict misery, pain, torture, and death on people purely because of the colour of their skin.CharltonAthMuseum said:And how should museum's display controversial artefacts and images?

No one compared TS with Colston.
