Join us to celebrate this year’s MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies, MA Arts Management & Heritage Studies and MA Curating Science students’ interpretive projects.

The projects are taking place in collaboration with on-campus galleries and archives based at the University of Leeds, including Feminist Archive North, The Stanley & Audrey Burton GalleryTreasures of the Brotherton, the Museum of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, ULITA – an Archive of International Textiles and the Yorkshire Fashion Archive.

Two further projects will be displayed in the exhibition spaces of the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.

This year the topics range from the history and legacy of the Race Relations act in Britain, the presence of women in science and engineering, and the university’s unique collection of magic lanterns.

Full details of each exhibition, including locations and opening hours, can be found on our events pages.
