This international symposium aims to promote and communicate inter-disciplinary
research on historical, theoretical and museological aspects of natural history
museums. Bringing together a critical mass of scholarship engaged in research
in this area, the conference will develop a theoretical community concerned
with 'natural museology'. Papers provide innovative methodological or reflexive
insights and are based on original research.
The conference will be hosted by the Manchester Museum, and is also supported by
the British Acdemy; the University of Manchester (School of Arts, Histories and
Cultures; Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the Arts; Centre for
Museology), the Museums and Galleries History Group and the Society for the
History of Natural History.
