About Museum Lab
Museum Lab is designed to provide participants with foundational museological knowledge and to foster critical engagement with art, heritage, and museums as sites of inquiry, encounter, and practice.
Through a structured programme of lectures, workshops, and discussions led by artists, curators, and cultural practitioners, participants will engage with a range of perspectives and methodologies, considering how exhibitions, collections, and archives are constructed, activated, and experienced.
Open calls for Museum Lab are typically announced in March/April each year, watch this space for more details.
