This day concentrates on the opportunities and pitfalls you might consider when mounting a museum exhibition. We hope to provide you with plenty of case studies and advice on how to successfully display collections.
Whilst the day has natural science collections in mind, it should be of use to anyone considering putting on an object display, whatever the theme.
