From Concept to Exhibition
Learn from our talented curatorial and exhibitions teams what goes into coordinating an exhibition: from concept and context to colours and conservation. What stories are we telling? How can we display the objects safely and with impact? How can we make a link with our audience?
Students will then be provided with a selection of prints and real artefacts, colour swatches and plinths, to practise designing and curating their own mini exhibition, making decisions and solving problems along the way.
