We continue our events exploring how artefacts end up in museums, who puts them there and why – and what it all means once they’re part of a collection.
Join Madeline Nehring (Team Leader - Collections) and Ross MacLennan (Curator) for an insight into the development of the new View of Aberdeen collection gallery exhibition, and join in the conversation around what we collect and why.
We'll be talking about working lives, what we can collect to represent them, and whether capturing people's voices and stories is more important than preserving objects.
Chavvin Awa at the Museum is part of our That Belongs in a Museum! series, where we invite you to have your say.
