Good exhibition design is an art, and when it is done right it can create powerful experiences, break down barriers and empower audiences.
This one-day conference examines how museums’ changing understanding of their role in broader society is affecting approaches to exhibition design – from sustainability and decolonisation to co-production and community engagement.
This conference is for anyone involved in creating permanent or temporary displays and exhibitions.
Delegates will:
- Discover how the Design Museum’s Environmental Impact Toolkit for exhibitions can be used in practice at your museum
- Discuss how participatory practice is shaping museums’ approach to exhibition design
- Learn how the record-breaking Derry Girls exhibition at the Tower Museum uses props from the hit TV show to create a fun visitor experience that also examines the serious political context of 1990s Northern Ireland.
- Discover how Showtown Blackpool and its designers Casson Mann have used a co-production model and an innovative approach to interpretation to create a non-traditional museum experience
- Have the opportunity to network with delegates and leading suppliers
