Don't Mention the War: how we talk about conflict in museums
Following the beast from the east postponing our original event in March we have rescheduled DON’T MENTION THE WAR for the 15 June! Venue: Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre
Do you work with a military collection, talk about conflict or have collections that deal with difficult histories?
Regardless of if you work or volunteer in learning, collections, conservation or front of house it can be challenging to talk to visitors about war. This mini conference is aimed at giving you confidence to take on the theme of conflict and engage with different audiences.
Joining us will be Dr Jenny Kidd (University of Cardiff) from the Challenging Histories Network, also during the day discover more about projects such as ‘Coming Home; Impact of the First World War in the Highlands’.
