Wed 3 Oct: Study Day – National Maritime Museum
Over the past 4 years Royal Museums Greenwich has been undertaking a dynamic journey in the development and delivery of the Endeavour Project. It has been working to facilitate historical, cultural and personal journeys through the collections in the development of four new galleries which will transform the visitor experience and a new collections storage and conservation centre that will be open to the public.
The Endeavour Project has created a sea change in the Museum with new approaches to community research, co-curation, and partnership working in the delivery of interpretation and programmes.
This exclusive study day will showcase the process and outcomes of collaborative working and demonstrate how the legacy of the Museums own ‘voyage of exploration’ will impact on its future planning. The day will include a series of gallery tours and talks and the option to visit the new £12 million Conservation and Collections Centre.
“An inspirational conference! A coming together of museum minds from across the world – gaining insights, sharing ideas and making connections” – Gillian Crumpton, Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust
