Historic collections, new stories: curating museums and heritage sites

Drawing on their experiences as curators and researchers, Dr Amy Lim and Elisabeth Grass will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, and some of the different ways in which in museums and country houses are engaging with diverse audiences and telling new stories.
