Our informal insights and networking informal sessions offer sector insights and the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the Midlands area.
The MDM team will be joined by Rachael Wayne - Learning Programmer and Laura Phillips - Head of Curatorship at Derby Museums.
Derby Museums’ collections from ancient Egypt have recently been brought together in a special exhibition. The displays explored why these collections are here and how they travelled all the way from North Africa.
New research helped tell previously untold stories, exploring the history of the collection and Derbyshire’s links with Egypt; critically examining previous displays and opening up discussions around colonial collections and the display of human remains.
Rachael and Laura will talk about how Learning and the child’s voice, became central to the curation of the exhibition, and to the development of the re-design of the permanent display.
