The Rural Museums Network is pleased to launch its 2022 Autumn Seminar Series. Join them for these monthly seminars to hear expert speakers and museum professionals share how rural collections and rural sites can better include a wider range of voices in the stories they tell.
These sessions are on the Zoom platform and are FREE for members (institutional and individual) and £5 for non-members.
On 9th September at 3.00pm join the Rural Museums Network and George Monger ACR to discuss conservation problems facing rural museums across the UK, posed by the audience. If you have a question or topic of interest you would like George to explore, please note this when making your booking on Eventbrite, or email them to rmnvoice@gmail.com. Tickets here.
On 7th October at 3.00pm we’re joined by Niall Logan, chairman of the Scottish Vernacular Buildings Working Group, to trace the history of the longhouse in Scotland from the earliest examples through to survivors today; how they were built, how they functioned, and why there are so few surviving. Tickets here.
And on 4th November at 3.00pm, Henry McGhie of Curating Tomorrow will be talking about sustainable development ideas and how rural museums can contribute towards sustainable communities. Tickets here.
Membership to the RMN starts at just £10 per year, representing good value for 2022’s Seminars as just one member benefit. For more information, visit their subscriptions webpage.
If you aren’t sure if your museum is a member, please do contact them to check before you book.
