Executive Leadership Workshop on Organizing Temporary Exhibitions for Heritage Managers and Museum Professionals

ORGANIZING TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS FROM YOUR COLLECTION AND PROMOTING THEM AROUND THE WORLD

21-22 April, 2017

Location: Benaki Museum, Koumbari 1, Athens

A 2 day workshop that focuses on how temporary exhibitions can enhance and promote the mission of a museum, create new audiences and generate revenue for an institution.

Starting with a look at building institutional strategy for exhibition making and partnership building, participants will explore the process behind making temporary exhibitions for display at home and internationally. This will include identifying exhibition objectives, shaping the narrative and content to create a compelling visitor experience as well as the practicalities of actually delivering a project in another country. The workshop will encourage a discursive approach and participants are welcome to bring their own ideas and projects to the table.

Don’t just run through like a train on a photo. Stop and take a few minutes to learn something you probably didn’t know about abandoned heritage of Bulgaria.
