Interpretation

Exhibitions

My roles have included responsibility for both permanent museum gallery displays and temporary exhibition programmes. This has included exhibitions I have curated, and collaborations with a number of external and community partners. Below are some highlights:

B17 Plane Crash Memorial, Bocking 2017
I was pleased to assist with the design of a permanent memorial, and the organisation of an associated commemorative event, to remember the crew and passengers of a B17G Flying Fortress which crashed in Bocking, Essex.
