What am I working on?Aim: to build the Museum into the fabric

of the University

Through:

• Collections access and care – multisite, many collections

• Education – student, staff, schools, adults

• Research – undergraduates, postgraduates staff

• Training – museum skills

• Projects – exhibitions, events (Bragg, Light Night)

Why is it exciting?

• New initiative so can be shaped – build from the ground up

• Involves the very people that inhabit the University and City

• Values and celebrates the University’s and City’s scientific heritage

What am I looking for?• Local network to share ideas, expertise and

develop projects. For example:

– specialist curatorial knowledge around natural history collections, wet specimens, medical instruments etc

– City wide events e.g. WW1

• Space – for exhibitions – travelling?

• Money!
