Exhibitions Curator at Birmingham Museums Trust Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom 246 connections. Birmingham Museums Trust. I was so impressed with my first trip around the Coming Out exhibition at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery that I jumped at the chance to join in with the Curator’s Tour with the amazing Lisa Beauchamp who was sadly coming to the end of her time as the Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at BMAG. We are granted a personal tour offering fresh perspectives on suspended collections,” notes Eloise Moody, the architect of this antidote to traditional curator-led tours.Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Kettle’s Yard, Museum of London, Royal Museums Greenwich, Pitt Rivers Museum and Southend Museums are the six venues chosen to participate in the project led by Metal, an Arts Council funded organisation with bases in Liverpool, Peterborough and Southend.“One of Metal’s chief aims is to support artists in strengthening their practice and amplifying their voices. The Caretakers project, conceived by artist Eloise Moody, is a powerful opportunity to amplify those marginalised voices working in the cultural sector in a beautiful and intriguing way at a moment in history that is reframing all our thinking,” explains Andrea Cunningham, Assistant Director at Metal Southend.Each episode of The Caretakers can be found via @caretakertales on TwitterThe ultimate news, product and opinion resource for museum, gallery, cultural and heritage visitor attraction professionals.Celebrating the very best within museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions for over 10 years.The UK’s largest free to attend annual trade exhibition for museums, galleries, cultural and heritage visitor attractions.Museums + Heritage Advisor is owned and operated by M and H Media LtdPeople's City gallery and Selfridge's lifts © Museum of LondonSign up to our fortnightly newsletter and stay up to date with all the latest news, opinions and features from the cultural sectorThis site uses cookies to improve your experience.

Each episode of The Caretakers, a week-long series of behind-the-scenes explorations, will focus on one object at an institution – selected by a member of the security or maintenance teams.The project is designed to reconnect the public with items they have been deprived of during lockdown while also giving a voice to workers whose knowledge of museum collections and cultural buildings often goes unheard.“While security and caretaking staff are the only people allowed inside our national museums and galleries, The Caretakers allows us to perch invisibly on their shoulders, seeing what takes their interest and noticing what they stop to consider.
