Home‎ > ‎

September 2007 - November 2008

Funded By: Arts and Humanities Research Council

Workshop Series

Four workshops hosted museum and gallery venues operated during 2007-08. A final open conference to disseminate results of the collaborations was held on November 4th at the Leeds City Museum. See below to read more about the workshops.

The Bridewell Museum Workshop (March-June 2008)

One of the workshops involved school pupils who worked with museum curators, learning officers and architecture students to re-design a gallery.

One day conference.

The view of the child in museum and gallery spaces

The final conference presented the research strategies that, as a result of the research collaboration, appear to be most suited to apply in an action research context that engages pupils with teachers in schools and educators in museums in considering the implications of design possibilities in the future.
