Themes for Manchester 2010

Working in partnership

Pressure on budgets and public spending cuts mean museums and galleries have to find more effective and efficient ways of working. This theme will explore how new models of service delivery can be developed and the benefits of working in partnership.

Whose museum is it anyway?

Who are museums really for and who owns collections? This theme will examine both museums’ and the public’s relationship with collections and what a sustainable future might look like.

Showing off

The age of the multi-million pound new museum and the blockbuster exhibition is dead. This theme will explore how museums can redisplay their collections, put on engaging and stimulating exhibitions and use objects to tell new stories.
