Introduction
In January 2020 we hosted a workshop to explore good practise and challenges for museums looking to develop approaches to decolonising museum collections, spaces, and interpretation.

The workshop keynote speaker was Bruno Verbergt, Operational Director, Royal Museum for Central Africa, Belgium. Scottish museums working in this area also spoke about their work including University of Aberdeen and the David Livingston Centre, Blantyre.
The talks from this workshop were recorded as additional resources for museums.
