There's more to running a complex museum like Gladstone P Museum than a guy from Potteries Museum Collections popping in to open the front door to a The Great Pottery Throw Down film crew during the winter. A #museum doesn't work like that Stoke-on-Trent CC Abi Brown OBE Lorraine Beardmore thetheatretwittic.com/2022/01/10/cal…

Tonight the magnificent work of art that is Tilda Swinton is on BBC Front Row. Plus leader of Stoke City Council and @AlasdairBrooks discussing controversial The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery & Gladstone P Museum budget cut plans, & NDAs in casting. 715pm R4 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

What is Stoke-on-Trent CC doing? Gladstone P Museum has won 23 awards in last 5 years. Now they plan to axe all its current staff & close the museum to tourists & school kids for 5 months a year. Incomprehensible. artsindustry.co.uk/feature/2766-t… …dstonepotterymuseumstory.blogspot.com/p/awards.html


Please read our detailed response to the Stoke-on-Trent CC Museums Budget Proposals: bit.ly/Budget_Response We fear the proposed cuts will have an “immediate, significant and long-lasting impact”. Thank you to all our members who contributed to the response.

I'm pretty sure Abi Brown OBE, Lorraine Beardmore & Stoke-on-Trent CC haven't a clue what award-winning curatorial work already goes on Gladstone P Museum - here's a reminder. 2021 Collections Trust Award - celebrating unsung achievements of those who manage the collections. @profdanhicks
