The climate and biodiversity crises are a real threat to our culture and way of life, particularly in rural areas. Every museum has a role to play in climate and biodiversity action – from the stories we choose to tell to the way we manage our land and buildings.
In this Rural Museums Network session Lucy Neville, Climate Officer for Museums Galleries Scotland, will host an open discussion around museums and their role in the climate crisis, on site action and audience engagement, resources already available and what you think is missing. She will also open the floor to those wishing to discuss their own ongoing or potential projects so we can workshop them as a group.
This session is hosted by David Rounce, Project Director, Glencoe Folk Museum.
