MGHG In Conversation No.1 - museum & exhibition cultures

Join us for the first in a new series of online MGHG In Conversation events. This first discussion will explore museum and exhibition cultures in the 19th century and beyond with Dr Rebecca Wade and Dr Claire Wintle, hosted by MGHG Chair Professor Mark Westgarth.

Rebecca Wade and Claire Wintle have both recently published books on public exhibition cultures - Rebecca's An Exhibition History of Victorian Leeds (2023) is a groundbreaking account of public exhibitions in Leeds in the nineteenth century, taking in the establishment of Leeds Art Gallery; Claire's edited volume (with Kate Guy and Hajra Williams), Histories of Exhibition Design in the Museum: Makers, Process and Practice (2023) offers a 'behind the scenes' investigation of museum exhibition design from the 19th century to more recent times. Both authors will be in conversation with each other and with Mark Westgarth at this exclusive MGHG event. There will also be an opportunity for the online audience to put questions to Rebecca and Claire.

20% Discounts on Claire and Rebecca’s books will be available to participants.
