N.B. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery 23% of staff & 35% of volunteers R BAME so don't say it can't be done. See related article by @RachelCockett explaining how.

School of Museum Studies Some of our students have created a small display on Wuhan’s musical heritage to counter negative ideas of Wuhan at this difficult time. They are asking: please call the virus by it’s scientific name, rather than associating it with a people. #stopracism

#museumsunlocked is back! Day 126 (7th Dec) will consider CASTS, COPIES AND FORGERIES. It also marks the start of an exciting 4 days co-curation between Museums Unlocked and School of Museum Studies doctoral students. Ready to meet the researchers who will be your hosts?

I'm Chiara Marabelli, Midlands4Cities researcher at School of Museum Studies and the Ashmolean Museum. My PhD challenges traditional ideas regarding casts and their VALUE as MUSEUM OBJECTS. Can plaster casts be original creations? How do you feel about copies in museums? #museumsunlocked

Thrilled not only that #museumsunlocked is back but also that School of Museum Studies doctoral students are collaborating on 4 days of discussion this week ... today (#museumsunlocked day 126, 7th Dec) is on CASTS, COPIES AND FORGERIES. Do get involved!

OK. That’s all from us now until 4 Jan. Taking the lead from the School’s new arrival (‘Luna’ the puppy, happy at home with Sandra Dudley), we’re all now heading for some important downtime. Take care everyone. With best wishes from all of us at the School of Museum Studies. x
