Disaster Planning & Emergency Salvage Training Day

Last year NI Museums Council collaborated with ICON NI and ICRI to bring the Heritage Emergencies Study Day to the NI museum and heritage sector.

In your feedback you told us that you wanted more in person and in depth training looking at disaster planning and emergency salvage, with opportunities for practical exercises.

Join us on March 25th for the next stage of training, delivered by Spencer & Fry.
