Organised by V&A
Working with the V&A’s expert staff and industry professionals, you will study the process and driving ideas behind V&A exhibition-making: from concept to build and design, you will get a 360-degree insight into the major considerations when putting on a show. Focusing on six key themes – mission, audience, research, experience design, project management and collaboration – this course will give you the skills and knowledge you need to feel more confident about putting on an exhibition of your own.
This course is primarily intended for people who are early- or mid-career in the museum/heritage sector or people interested in working in exhibitions.
