Training Heritage Leaders
Spring 2018
Executive Leadership Development in Heritage Management Workshops
Organizing Temporary Exhibitions from your Collection and Promoting them around the World
13-14 April, 2018
Athens, Greece
A 2 day workshop that focuses on how temporary exhibitions can enhance and promote the mission of a museum, create new audiences and generate revenue for an institution.
Starting with a look at building institutional strategy for exhibition making and partnership building, participants will explore the process behind making temporary exhibitions for display at home and internationally. This will include identifying exhibition objectives, shaping the narrative and content to create a compelling visitor experience as well as the practicalities of actually delivering a project in another country. The workshop will encourage a discursive approach and participants are welcome to bring their own ideas and projects to the table.
The workshop will be delivered by Rosie Wanek, Senior Exhibitions Manager at Somerset House, London, UK, who is specializing in exhibition development and delivery local and internationally.
