Young Curators

This is an Amersham Museum run after-school group for 14-18 year olds. The group provides opportunities for young people to work with museum professionals to develop their skills and understanding of museum curation. This includes:

• Developing and caring for a museum collection
• Curating and designing exhibitions
• Developing learning resources
• Evaluation techniques

Young Curators meets once a fortnight on a Monday afternoon during term time, 4.30pm-5.30pm

Recognition

If extra hours are needed to fulfil the commitments of these schemes, participants can be given additional work to do between the sessions.
